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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
