kpurdy68 25 Posted August 26, 2014 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.

CherieRyde 227 Posted August 26, 2014 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 .... >.> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpurdy68 25 Posted August 26, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollo 7 Posted August 27, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyM 1,956 Posted August 27, 2014 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.
