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?!?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
