Casein might be OK for gastric sleeve patients after the post op liquid phase. It’s most definitely NOT ok for gastric bypass or DS patients. See Dr. Rollers post above.

No offense Alex, but just because one Dr. has that opinion does not make it a proven fact.

There might be a study in the works on this issue

http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/admin/rctview.asp?TC=6637

I could not find any completed studies, so this is Dr. roller's conjecture.

The RNY bypassed just 3 feet of the small intestine, but still leaves 17. So it doesn't make sense to me that would make casein an ineffective source of Protein for bypass patients.

Please do more research. You’re very mistaken. See http://bariatrictimes.com/protein-and-the-bariatric-patient-supplemental-protein-or-amino-acids/ . Google a little and you’ll find MANY studies showing that WPI is definitely the way to go for patients that have malabsorptive procedures.

Alex ... from the article

" Whether rapid versus slow uptake of amino acids are better for Protein gain among bariatric patients have not been explored."

There was absolutely nothing in that article that supports the claim that casein is inappropriate for RNY patients.

I've found a blend that has equal parts. WPI WPC & CASEIN plus amino acids and luecine.

Best of both worlds

Both whey and caesin Proteins are great for weight loss. Whey generally helps build muscle mass for body builders. Caesin is good for preventing muscle loss during weight loss. Whey is digested much faster than caesin which may produced satiety sooner. Caesin digests much slower so can ward off hunger.

      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.
