elizabetholiver got a reaction from sweesee in 180 Days Weight Loss Trial & Protein Shake Question
A lot of insurance plans require the 6 month diet - especially bcbs. Mine went really well - i lost 40 lbs.
Just me, but I don't think premier is the best Protein option. It's a whey concentrate blend, and your body will process 100% whey isolate the best, especially after surgery. Look at Syntrax nectar, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, or inspire brands (all purchased online). All three have some really good flavors and they blend really well.

@@kcap68 Getting enough fluids and Protein is a full time job. You need both for proper healing and weight loss. At 3 weeks out - you may still need to supplement with Protein Powder or shakes. Even if you aren't hungry - you need to eat on schedule. Set a timer if necessary. Eat 4-6 small meals of protein and drink shakes or other fluids 30-60 mins after. Your body will start breaking down muscle if you don't get adequate protein. Try drinking smaller sips if you get uncomfortable. I did better with warm or hot liquids at first.

It can definitely be tough. Head hunger is real and can be hard to work through. Just keep sipping on your Water and Protein shakes and try to rest to let your body heal. It takes a huge toll on your body and emotions. I have been more easily irritated and emotional since surgery a few weeks ago. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App
