Hi all. I'm starting my liquid diet, and the Protein Shake I'm using has 30 grams per carton (11 oz). I'm drinking it three times a day, so I'm getting 90 oz of Protein. Is that too much? Is there a such thing as too much protein? I will ask my nutritionist, but I can't get to her until tomorrow. Thanks!

I was told the more protein, the more full you feel. However, my limit was 100grams per day.

It depends on your activity. I try to get 100-130 gras of Protein a day. However I am weight training right now for the police academy test.

Your body can only absorb about 30grams per serving at a time of shakes. You absorb all the protein in whole food protein (meat,eggs, etc).

Remember though every doctor is different so please check with your nut tomorrow.

You drinking the premier Protein premade shakes? My doctor actually recommended these. They served me one in the hospital too- 11 oz and 30 grams of Protein. So my doctor says they are fine. I am so tired of the chocolate though I could scream.

Bought some new shakes today at Walmart- eas and Atkins both vanilla. No more chocolate for now. I need to go back up costco and get vanilla premier shakes.

I asked my nutritionist yesterday if too much protein is bad and she said too much can take a toll on your kidneys and told me to try not to go over 8oz more than I'm required.

Every doctor has a different program, but my daily pre-op Protein goal is 75-125 grams a day.

How do you like the Eas? I was going to try and buy that last night but chickened out.

Haven't tried it yet. Needed to get it cold first- will probably try it today. I'll let you know.

I hate the EAS brand. Thought it tasted terrible, but a lot of others really liked it. I want to try the premiere protien, but don't know where to get it around here. Will check online.

Well my nutritionist is out of the office until Tuesday...my surgery is Thursday so that's not really going to help me. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and pray that I'm not hurting anything.

I bought a whole case of the chocolate 3 years ago after I got my lap band. I drank one. It was disgusting to me and I barely got it down. Now that I think about it, the rest of them are still in the box on the bottom shelf of my pantry. I'm sure they're expired by now, so I guess I should throw them away lol.

I never had the heart to try any other flavor.

      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.
