4 months protein question.



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 months in a few days. Are any of you at this point still drinking the Protein Shakes? Should I continue taking my 60 grams of Protein a day or stop and start eating more?. I still don't eat that much.

I am 11 months post surgery and still have a Protein shake or fortified greek yogurt almost every day. I am not a huge fan of meat and I am allergic to soy, so I need the whey Protein from the shakes to ensure I get my 60 grams each day.

I was 4 months on April 3rd & I love Protein shakes!!! I either drink a GNC Total Lean or make my own with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein, almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, & frozen berries. I work 2 jobs so I need the convenience. And they taste great to me!!

I plan on drinking Protein shakes for a long, long time. My doctor says he would like the majority of my calories & protein to come from "real food" but it's a lot easier to drink my protein then sit down and eat chicken or fish sometimes.

Whatever works for you that keeps the protein going in & is healthy!!

Good luck!

I feel the same way as all of you. I enjoy my Syntrax Protein. The first months it was hell finding a protein I liked Into I had syntrax I was so happy. Yes it's easier and for sure I know I'm getting my daily protein with my shakes. My nut also wants me to get my protein from food but sometimes I get off at 6:30 from work and I have my workout class at 8:00 so I feel rushed rushed so a shake is always great.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
