Is anything wrong with using Whey Protein?



Recommended Posts

I brought a whey Protein and someone told me that was for gaining weight.

It can be used to supplement an otherwise-normal diet, or by a person who intends to gain weight, but that's not its only use. If you use it to make Protein shakes and you adhere to the rules set by your nutritionist and your surgeon, it will help you lose weight.

Ditto. Whey Protein is a great way to get your protein in.

Whey Protein is a great way to get your protein in. I am allergic to soy and that also leads to problems with estrogen over load or shut down. So for me whey protein is an amazing choice to use for weight loss.

whey is the most common Protein for sleevers. whey isolate is an excellent source and highly recommended by bariatric clinics.

I took whey Protein before surgery (lost 15 lbs while drinking it twice a day) and I drink it every morning now. I'm 20lbs down since surgery three weeks ago. It works great for my Protein intake.

      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.
