Huge Emergency Issue. Proti-Diet liquid protein is NOT vegetarian/kosher and my surgery is Monday!

[JerseyCityGal 231]

I'm supposed to have one "liquid Protein in Water - Proti-diet concentrated drink or similar" per day for two weeks following surgery (which is Monday) so I was online ordering them when I looked at the ingredients ,,,, and the very first ingredient is Hydrolyzed Gelatin.

There is no way that is going into my mouth. Ever. I need another product. I've Googled it to death and can't find one.

Help! There has to be one without this ingredient!

Perhaps you should ask your physician?

Good catch, btw.

What about powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protrein shakes?

I do not know much about Kosher or vegetarianism but the classic chocolate has the following ingredients.

Ingredients: Whey Protein Isolate, Fructose, Cocoa powder (Alkali Processed), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Sea Salt, Aspartame, Acesulfame Potassium, Potassium Chloride.

Their website gives the ingredients to their Protein powders. You can check them out and see if the ingredients are up to par for you.

I hope you find what your looking for.

I only do Non-GMO raw Protein Shakes and supplements. I would suggest going on Amazon and looking at Garden of Life I also take their new Vitamins USDA organic Non-GMO Kind Organics they are by Garden of life also. They also have mouth spray vitamens for B-12 etc

I ordered a whole case until I noticed it a quarter of the way through. I'm Ok with whey for now though. Good luck!

These are all good suggestions for Stage II, but Stage I has to be a liquid Protein in Water , sort of like those MIO squeeze bottles that you squirt the liquid in the Water. My instructions say I can't have any shakes until Stage II.

It's extremely hard to get hold of the nutritionists at my surgeons office. It took six or seven calls over a week and a half last time, plus a few e-mails.

I can't believe I would be the first person in Northern New Jersey that they would have run across that has these restrictions. It would be like being surprised to find out there are Alaskans in Alaska.

What about this? http://www.amazon.com/Isopure-Protein-Drink-Grape-ounces/dp/B001M0NJNC/ref=pd_sim_hpc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BS0F5C9JEY87HSF85Q5

[jallsop 39]

how about Isopure clear liquid drinks. come in a variety of flavors. I drink 1/2 of one every day since my surgery for extra Protein. NO IDEA what the ingredient are, just know they are loaded w/ Protein.

My Dr. did not care what I did to loose weight pre-surgery, as long as I lost "X" amount of pounds.

Just happened to be that the Protein Shake way is the most efficient....

[swimbikerun 1,046]

There are tons of ways you can go otherwise. What about local stuff? Getting different kinds and tastes?

[Sharpie 3,306]

so you have to have vegetarian drinks? never heard of that being a requirement pre-surgery. Is that a sleeve thing? My dr. put me on a liver shrinking diet pre-surgery. Protein drinks /bars and one lean cuisine at dinner. lost 10 lbs pre-surgery.

[JerseyCityGal 231]

It's for the first two weeks post surgery, Clear liquids stage, not the pre-surgery weight loss stage. My surgery is on Monday morning.

Sharpie, my surgeon doesn't have ethical or religious dietary requirements, I do.

I'm going to see if I can get some Isopures sent overnight. They are clear liquid and Protein, so it looks like rthey will fit the bill. I called the nutritionist to ask, but I doubt I will hear back from her before my surgery.

have you googled kosher/vegetarian? I found this ....

May I suggest Jay Robb Whey Protein Powder. I did use it with Water at the beginning and switched to milk afterwards.

You can get it at Whole Foods, directly from the company or from Amazon.< /p>

In my opinion it's very good. It comes in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and something else.

Has no junk in it at all. It's sweetened with stevia.

Good luck with your surgery.
