Protein Ideas



Recommended Posts

Has anybody used the New whey Protein 3.8 ounces ready made? It has 42 g of Protein per little bottle. I ordered some, but wanted to see if anyone else used it. I figure I can drink half the bottle in two small sips and have my morning Protein Drink and the other half for my afternoon.

I'm just struggling so much with protein. My other shakes make me gag or take me an entire hour to drink. And at this point with only being able to eat 2 ounces at a time, I can not get my protein through food. Maybe when I'm able to eat more at a time.

Any other ideas?

Your body can only process 30 grams of Protein at once. Maybe drink 2/3 of it, wait an hour and finish. However at 8 months out you should be getting most of your Protein with real food. Only Protein drinks to supplement

If that's the one that I'm thinking of, I thought it was nasty. Taste like medicine to me. I use unflavored Isopure Protein mix, and I put half of a scoop in my drink twice a day. It's not totally unflavored, but doing it that way makes it drinkable. I use it with my other drink mixes and works great

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
