Protein intake question



Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me how much Protein in one drink is to much? I'm almost sure my nut said anything over 45 grams of protein is a waste cuz your body can only absorb so much. Has anyone heard that as well??

Hi. My NUT said the same thing. My drinks range from 23-42 (I like to mix them up so I won't get bored)

I was told anything over 30 grams at a time was all the pro body

Sorry, my phone froze up. That should finish as: 30 grams was all the Protein the body can absorb at a time.

My doctor told me to drink Isopure and dilute it, or mix it with something else. But the ungodly taste still comes through and I vomit a little when I drink it. Is there any other way to get the Protein into my body during the first stage? Any kind of help would be appreciated

Hi, when it comes to getting my Protein in I used Syntrax nectar Protein and you can get it in different flavors....

My understanding is 30g at a time with three hours in between. I have had the worst time finding a Protein I can tolerate. I finally found lean 25 from GNC and proflex20 from melaluca both are great tasting.

I started mixing one oz of Isopure with two ounces of the Ensure Protein, then mix in 1 tbsp of unflavored Protein Powder. Gives me 8 grams or so of protein in 3 oz of liquid. Of course I'm only two days post surgery.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
