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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
