Increasing protein really works



Recommended Posts

I have been at a stall for the past couple of months. I made a New Years resolution to increase my Protein and do better about doctors orders. I was getting 40-50g of protein a day. Now I am getting 90-100g. Not only do I feel really good, but my weight loss has started again.

Hey Music .... I too was at a stall for 2+months.... it was 5 months post op when my weight loss just stopped. After the 2nd month I increased the intensity and distance of my exercise... I went from walking to running and in about 2 wks the weight started coming off again but slowly. The strange thing was.. the weight stayed the same but I dropped a size - go figure.

I get about 50+ grams of Protein a day from a Protein shake the "+" is cottage cheese or nuts I may have. How are you getting all your Protein in? I just may up mine and see what happens.

I found a Protein Shake that is 30g of protein with just 4oz of liquid. It is from max muscle. They said I should be getting about 100g due to my activity level. I drink the shake in the morning and if I need to one at night. The rest I am relying on food.

I am like you during this stall the weight stayed the same, but my clothes fit better. I have tried really hard not to pay attention to the scale and focus on the inches.

I did not see one in Houston, but give the Plano or Rockwall store a call. He has said he will ship. Just let them know you are a bariatric patient.

I use their max pro orange Protein shake. I also use the B12 and the all in one Vitamin powder.

Yes it tastes like an orange push up pop. I can choke it down with just 4oz of milk.

Tell then you heard about them from a barker patient!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

        I'm so sorry. I lost my pup (Mr. Bitters - a chocolate Pomeranian) 2 years ago and it still makes me tear up. He was my everything - my constant companion. I understand. Do the best you can to get back on track.
