Losing weight thanks to more protien!



Recommended Posts

I am finding Protein helping my weight loss as well. I purchased some Protein powder from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com, it's the best tasting that I've found and it has 20 grams of Protein, only 180 calories and 1% fat with 8 oz of skim milk. (Of course I only drink 6 oz of milk.) fills me up, lasts long and really taste great!! And NO CARBS!!

I am happy to report I have lost 2lbs in the past 4 days, I have been upping my protein, eating a ton of veggies and some fruit - no breads due to them getting stuck!

173.5 and today 171.5, I can't wait to break the 170's finally. I feel good, clearer, healthier, my skin is clearing up and I have energy!

Did that actress Sara Rue have the lap band surgery? Does anyone know? If so, is it OK for her to be taking part in these activities at her wedding? http://bit.ly/lhHUGk

She did not have the lap band surgery. She went on Jenny Craig.

I've been meaning to ask my Doc about the Protein bullets - do you take them before or after a workout, or do you use them as a meal supplement? My dr has a pretty strick diet were I can only eat 3 times a day - no snacking unless I get shakey due to hunger, since I tend to work out more.

Isopure

high protien content no carbs

shakes & bottled drinks

or protien bullets

google both

      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.
