Protein Powders for extra protein?



Recommended Posts

OK, so I am constantly worried about not getting enough Protein. I am on day 13 of my post op and feel pretty good but I know I am not taking in enough protein. I found this on Amazon and was wondering if any one knew anything about it?

BulkSupplements CLEAN whey Protein powder Isolate 90% (500 grams) by BulkSupplements

Its just an unflavored whey protein that doesn't have anything of the junk the other ones have in it.

Need advise.

Does your doc not have you on Protein Shakes? Mine gave me a list of things that were approved for my recovery. I did great for the first 3 weeks .... >.>

yes but one a day. I am usually taking in about 40 grams a day. 30 of it is my shake. But everything I read says I should have 60 to 90.. That's why I am wondering if the extra powder would hurt anything?

What happens if you don't get enough Protein? I know it's important at the beginning, but what about 3 to 4 months out?

Protein was important before you were banded and will always be important. It helps in healing, clotting, building and maintaining muscle, and will help you stay fuller longer in your journey. You will muscle waste as you diet and need the protein to help ward this off.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
