Real Meals, Whey Protein, a problem..



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Next Friday is my surgery and I'm trying Real Meals this week, since I have ulcerated colitis this Protein Drink seems to give me some problems. I can handle the Instant Carnation Breakfast drink, but with milk only 20grms of Protein. Can anyone suggest another drink? Also how many grams of protein are we suppose to have a day?

Thanks,

Corgi

Corgi~ My band surgeon told me I should get AT LEAST 45-50 grams of Protein a day.

As for Protein shakes I drink EAS Advant Edge Protein drinks. (Walmart or Kroger carries these)

Also many on this site have recomended unjury Protein products and it has a web site you can check out. www.unjury.com I think is the right web site to check. Hope this helps you out. Good luck.

If you are familiar with Shaklee, they have a pretty good shake Protein. It is Soy based but readily digestable. What I am doing now is mixing the Shaklee and the Edge advantage powder mix in a shake and that way I have the whey and the soy Protein and end up with about 30-35 grams protein. The shake is great and fills me for a quite a little bit. The Shaklee one I have used sporadically over the years and gives me a real boost to a slow day. By the way I use the magic bullet for the shakes and they get blended real smooth.

My old stand-by is skim milk, bananna, vanilla and Unjury Protein Powder. Go to Unjury.com. It's the best Protein powder on the market and comes in chocolate, vanilla and unflavored. There is 20 grams of protein in each scoop. You can put the unflavored on anything and can just barely tell it is on it. 60gms of protein is the daily requirement, I believe.

        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
