Protein and wt gain

[pattycaketoo 133]

I am on the pre op diet. I am on 100 grams of Protein and 100 grams of carbs. I drink 4 Protein shakes a day. Slim fast high protein is on my list so I drink those. At lunch I can have a lean protein, 2 veggies and a fruit. Then in between have sugar free Jello and broth. I have gained 4 pounds, is it possible?

Oh my we have to get 60g Protein and 0 carbs except whats in our shakes Premier Protein which is like 5 grams. The insurance denied me so I got to appeal I guess. But it nothing for me to gain 3-4 lbs eat or not eat. most likely just Fluid. Good Luck

I'm waiting for approval now. I've completed everything I had to do. I'm scheduled for the 14th. Just don't want the surgeon to post phone because I gained wt.

I would try to limit your carb intake that will probably help tremendously good luck to you!

According to my diet from the surgeon I'm supposed to get that much. I don't get that much because the shakes only have 5grams of carbs.

Most Protein shakes will have 20 grams of Protein and minimal sugar. Slim Fast Advanced Nutrition says it has as much as 20 grams of protein and as little as 1 gram of sugar. So it sounds like a good Protein shake. But Slim Fast Original has 10 grams of protein and a whopping 18 grams of sugar, so I would definitely stay away from the original variety.

Weight loss is achieved after RNY gastric bypass surgery through meal volume control. You begin at 2 ounces (1/4 cup) per meal and gradually over the next year and a half increase the volume to 1 cup per meal. With this minuscule amount of food, it is next to impossible to meet your protein daily requirements by food alone, so therefore you need to rely on supplements such as Protein Shakes.

So overall it seems like you are beginning in the pre-op stage with making a good transition to the protein supplements that you will need to carry you through the post-op stage.

Right now I'm doing slim fast high Protein for the pre op diet. Afterwards I have Isopure pineapple orange and banana.

Premier Protein are the best. Less carbs.

I love premier protein! They ate expensive where I live, so I switched to muscle milk
