1st Protein Shake Down



Recommended Posts

Well I finally got the first Protein Shake down. It was disgusting to say the least.... But It gave me TONSSS of Energy! So that was an upside. I also took 2 sips of that nasty Protein Shot!

Anyone know of an alternative to get the protein that is needed in??

Try around with different things to add to the shake, I found some sugar free/fatfree coffee flavoring that I have been adding to mine, it's super tasty,, or try different Protein powders.< /p>

Protein "shots" or "bullets" usually contain collagen protein as the most predominant ingredient. Collagen is an incomplete protein meaning that it lacks one or more of the nine essential amino acids the body needs. Collagen also has a PDCAAS score of 0.08 which means that it is virtually indigestible. And to top it all off, it tastes terrible. whey, soy and milk protein supplements - ready-to-drink or powder - are all excellent sources of protein and there are many options on the market. Don't stop trying until you find one that you can tolerate. Getting ALL of your doctor recommended protein in every day is crucially important for a whole list of reasons. You're gonna love the new you!

      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.
