Recommended Posts

I plan on using the Protein for good, it does the trick for me, and I want get back into weight training again, I did have to research to find the right one, paid 24.95 and get 2 servings for 32 days lots better than 90.00 for a month

@@TammyDTM, yes. I just had my consult with her the day after I scheduled my surgery and she just went over what was on the handout sheet. She just said how many grams of Protein the shakes should have and she also emphasized I stop the Protein Shakes at 3 weeks... It's strange they don't do Protein Shakes because all I see on here is people talking about Protein and their shakes.< /p>

I do a shake once if not twice some days. I can still meet my protein intake on food source along, but the additional protein I am getting in from the combination of food and shakes, helps greatly with the whole sore weak feeling muscles. Plus if you can incorporate the shakes in pre and post workout they will help greatly with muscle building.

Im 6 months out and I still drink 2 drinks a day. I don't get enough Protein in with food. My doctor has no problem with it.

I'll be 2 years out in 4 months. I do one or 2 Protein supplements per day. Daily, one in my coffee to make a "latte" and often, but not always one in "bar" form later in the day. The "bar" one is really more of a "cookie fix" when I use it. PowerCrunch is da bomb! I'll probably never give up my Protein latte at this point. It's my morning treat!

      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.
