Consequences of no protein



Recommended Posts

Where can you buy the premier brand shakes at? I want to try those since there is more Protein in every shake! Also the Biotin where can you get that? I am only 2 days post op but I love reading what everyone has to say!!

I buy Premier Protein at BJ's.....12 pack for $17.99. They are my favorite. GNC has Biotin sublingual ....sometimes buy one get one free!

I was thinking of buying the Syntrax nectar at Vitamin shoppe..which flavor is your go-to flavor?

I wonder if they have sample packets to try out?

They do have single serving packs but kinda hit or miss on flavors at least at my store..you can order single serve packs on their site also so you can try before buying big container...I use vanilla bean torte in sugar free vanilla pudding it taste like cake batter lol

You should be able to find Biotin anywhere that sales supplements, I know they have them a Wal-Mart, and Rite-Aid pharmacy.

Check this out guys and gals; what do you think? I'm going to start taking this 2 week before surgery and after. 1oz if 15 grams of protein! I thought this was GREAT! Is there anything better out there?

My Nut list staes 100% whey or soy Protein isolate

Not sure about the hydroloyzed collagen?

I'm not an expert on supplements by any means.

Hopefully someone else chimes in :)

You are correct...collagen is junk Protein for us. There is an awesome thread, I think on the nutrition forum, that explains the science of why collagen protein is a waste.

Milk by-product protein is what we need post-op...whey, caseinate, etc.

I'm surprised by the "I only lose 1-2 pounds per week" comments...that's all I lose, and I'm very pleased with it. How much do you think you're supposed to be losing?!?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
