Protein....I need help



Recommended Posts

Is there such a thing as Protein crystals that you can add to Water that does not make it milky, but let's it stay the consistency of water? If so, does it come unflavored? I need to figure out how to get protein during clear liquid post surgery stage and isoprene tastes like metal to me. Any suggestions are welcome.

Give a call to your nutritionist and they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

I second the Musclegen . I had (and still to some extent) trouble getting Protein in. This helped a lot.

From their website:

Made with our complete microfiltration process to be the only completely clear milk Protein when dissolved in Water. Available in a range of delicious flavors to mix up some seriously delicious and dynamic recipes.

I've used Isopure products for over 20 years and have been more than satisfied with their quality.

I just got and tried the Musclegen stuff... not bad! Not truly "tasteless", but pretty good. It mixed in nice with a glass of crystal light... just a little milky.

Isopure has a Protein Drink that isn't milk based.

LiquaCel Concentrated Liquid Protein, sugar-free Lemonade, 32oz Bottle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H2LGBU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_G5uuvb038AY1G

I love this stuff. 16grams of Protein per 1ounce shot.and there is a peach/mango flavor not listed in pic. I've tried the orange, grape and peach/mango. All great tasting. Next order will be the lemonade. I'm sure it'll be just as good.

Isn't the clear liquid phase only like a week? The most important thing is to start getting your Water intake up, so you don't get dehydrated. I just checked my food journal, and I lived on sugar free ice pops and strained vegetable Soup. Strained Soups tasted so much better than broth, and my dog loved the veggies mixed in with his food... lol. Is there a reason why you can't do whey based protien? I was drinking 2 4oz shakes a day, would take almost an hour to get one down, but it wasn't that bad. 6 months post surgery, and now I hate protien powder, I get my protien from greek yogurt now.

Good luck with your recovery, you'll do great! Congratulations on the new you!

      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.
