Protein, my kingdom for good protein



Recommended Posts

Unjury is good. I love the chocolate flavor. I also get lots of Protein from vegan foods. I have eliminated hoof animals and am working on eliminating the beaks. I still love my fish and seafood, though. I just don't digest hoof animals like I did before. I don't like the way I feel and you really don't get much protein in 2 oz of animal compared with vegan foods.

Yeah, I'm moving towards the vegetarian life again. I've started purchasing free range and organic animal products. My spouse and daughter are committed carnivores, we've come to a reconciliation on this matter.

moooooooh.

I don't understand the question...do you mean Protein Shakes? How far are you out from surgery? What is NOW foods. Sorry, maybe I'm dumb! If you want ideas just for regular old Protein foods, I can list them all and would be happy to!

First of all.....PHINS UP from a fellow parrothead.....

NOW....tell me more about vegan foods.....

After the last beef debaucle, I'm seriously leaning towards cutting out "hoof" animals as well....I already stopped eating pork.....interested to hear about the protein side of it.

Harley Girl - i'm with you about the lastest pictures of those poor cows at the slaughterhouse. It made me cringe and ashamed of the human species.

I know that we are carnivores and, if I was hunting game and eating what I killed, I'd feel a whole lot better about eating meat. (Actually I'm a pretty good shot! and have my hunting license but I've never killed anything)

We humans have raised the whole raising and slaughtering of animals to an inhumane level. Pigs kept above those disgusting lagoons, cows spending their whole lives packed in pens. It's just not right. We need to have more respect for other animals I believe.

Once I have my surgery I'll be giving up most meat products. I can't reconcile the inhumane treatment of the animals. Cage free is worth the extra money.

Surgery on Monday March 3rd- yea! A new relationship with food I hope.:)

I'm also being banded March 10. The only liguid I have been having any luck with choking down is Isopure. I get it online from GNC. Each bottle has 40g of Protein and some of the flavors taste pretty good. Good luck.

Try Medifast shakes- they are available on the web- I think they are good and I'll use them for my pre-surgery and post surgery liquid.

the Medifast diet is good except I got too hungrey with it. So I'll use Medifast with the band- hopefully that will be a good combination.

We'll see! banding on March 3rd.:biggrin:

I like the chocolate and the vanilla, But i know with some people that are sensitive to taste. The unflavored one is really awesome, due to the fact that you can practically mix it with anything. Your food, coffee, you can even add it to whatever you are baking. I heard its a lifesaver in terms of Proteins, due to the no taste factor.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
