Protein Shake ???????



Recommended Posts

I RECENTLY HAD MY SURGERY ON DECEMBER 4 2007 AND IT TRULY WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY LIFE. MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON A CLEAR liquid diet AND FOLLOWED WITH A FULL DIET FOR TWO WEEKS. OUT OF THE SIX MELAS THAT I AM SUPPOSE TO HAVE FOUR OF THOSE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE Protein Shakes. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE DRINKING THE Protein shakes AND HAVE REPLACED THEM WITH CARNATION INSTANT Breakfast drinks. ANY ADVICE ON WHETHER THATS A GOOD IDEA OR NOT?:help:

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERY ONE WHO HAS REPLIED TO MY THREAD. ALL TOGETHER I GATHER THAT EVERYONE RECOMMENDS THAT I SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM THE CARNATION drinks AND EITHER CONTINUE WITH THE Protein Shakes OR TRY A DIFFERENT TYPE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FELLOW BANDERS FOR THE ADVICE.:clap2:

My Dr. recomends the carnation instant breakfast drinks if you can't stomach the other protien shakes. They are not that low in protien and you will only need them until you start on foods.

I am going to drink Slim Fast, 10 grams Protein in each one, and its on my doctors list, and then have one Isopure chocolate shake, with I think 40 grams of Protein in it while on my liquid phase. I also bought the unflavored Protein powder I am sure towards the end I can mix that into something, maybe even the broth with the veggies.

I bought the Isopure and unflavored protein powder at GNC.

I am a big fan of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Isolate Whey Protein drinks. specially for Lap Band/Bariatric patients, low calorie, 1 carb, high Protein.< /p>

The unflavored is great to add to yougurt and Soup. The Chocoate and vanilla make a great shake and the chicken Soup rocks.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
