Has anyone tried this protein?



Recommended Posts

I love the taste of this one and it says it has 60g of Protein per scoop but I haven't read of anyone trying it so just wondering

Our bari program allows this powder (available at Wal-Mart). Of course, you would want to only consume ONE scoop (30gm) of Protein at a time because that is all the body can absorb. You're just wasting your money if you drink 60gm at one time.

From what I have read and heard on the boards here from others, your body doesn't need more than 25 -30 gr of Protein at each meal. The rest is just a waste.

Ok what I've been doing is pouring a whole scoop in a separate container each day and eating the Protein throughout the day. I add half to a shake and later to oatmeal or yogurt cause I figured 60g a meal was too much.

I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for letting me know!

I agree...and one scoop of the powder has 30 Protein and 200(!) calories(2 scoops is 60 protein and 400 calories)...that's a lot of calories-I think I would only do that if I were in desperate need of protein and not really eating anything else...[=55712:ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1439697120.451492.jpg]

I found one with less calories and will save this one for next month when I'm exercising again!

      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.
