I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and Premier Protein is great since it has 30g Protein but I'm kind of tired of it. Maybe cause I ran out of all the different flavors I had and I'm only having 1 flavor. My mother in law told me about these protein waters and I wanted to share them with you guys in case Protein Shakes weren't cutting it any more lol.

Protein Shakes
gggarc06 replied to r.chapanar@gamil.com's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They’re delicious!! My favorite one is the wild berry and grape one! Other protein waters are gross, but this one is tasty! -
Does anyone have kidney pain after drinking so many protein shakes? Ive tried different brands and get the same pain. Thanks!

Kidney Pain With Protein Shakes?
Catracks replied to joe_cltnc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A high protein diet can be hard on the kidneys. Check with your doctor. I don't have any symptoms except for a very high ammonia content in my urine. Sorry if TMI, but it's something to be aware of. -
Kidney Pain With Protein Shakes?
O.T.R. sleever replied to joe_cltnc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds to me like you have some kidney stones. High Protein,high Calcium, & high sugar diets are known to cause kidney stones. We are all pretty much fit squarely into these categories. Sugar & calcium before surgery, protein & calcium after. There are many natural treatments out there for this from apple cider vinegar, to olive oil & lemon juice. Or your doctor can laser them to break them up and make them passable(OUCH!) -
Thanks guys! It's probably just my body's way of adjusting to the new stomach. I will keep drinking my Water and try to get some Protein in. If I can't stomach anything by Monday I will give my surgeon or nutritionist a call :-)

Yes I lost 145 on my own before I even saw the surgeon. I did it with1 year on Weight Watchers and 1 year on Nutrisystem. When I saw the surgeon he wanted me on a 6 month High Protein, low carb diet and I lost another 38 pounds and was finally able to have my sleeve at 314. However I was not diabetic

I drink those. It really doesn't have many calories at all. 160 for the whole bottle and zero carb as well. I think this is the best Protein drink. They handed it to me when I left the hospital, plus it is a clear protein so you can drink it even when you are sick, or going in for a check up or fill. I get a variety case of 12 bottles from GNC for $50. If anyone knows a cheaper way to get them, that would be cool.

I can't find the post now but someone was just talking about buying cocotien for their protein intake. Has anyone tried this? Does it taste like isopure (because BLEH!!!!)? Had never heard of it til now and just curious what others experience was.
-
I was allowed my protein drinks during the clear liquid phase. I would have my protein shakes, clear broths, SF Popsicles, water. I was allowed jello but I didn't have during that phase. I returned home from the hospital four days after surgery so I only had four days to deal with clear liquids. Each phase gets easier. Just keep telling yourself..."I am healing. I am healing." You can do it!!

Pre Surgery Liquid Diet Failing - Ideas, Help?
Greekie17 replied to kymie9899's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am dreading the pre-op diet which for me starts Jan. 25th. My doctor requires it to lessen the fatty liver that we obese people can have which makes the surgery more difficult (at least that's what I was told). The protein shakes are from the surgeon's office, they have only 122 cals. when made with water (which is what we have to do pre-op; post -op is with skim milk) x 2, then a small meal of 4 oz. chicken, turkey or fish, and green vegetables- nothing else. Yikes- that will be maybe 600 cals. daily. I'm on 1200 cals daily since Monday and that is going pretty well- I've dropped 3.9 lbs already. Today I brought all my junk food over to my daughter's house- cookies, candy, graham crackers, brownies, etc. Better to have no temptations. It's the first time I have ever done this.....hope I can stick it out! -
New senior member just saying Hi
SassySenior replied to SassySenior's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi, Thanks for posting! I'm 95% sure I'll be getting the band. Now my biggest decision is what doc. The one I picked is fabulous but I don't like his support staff, especially the PA, who will be doing the fills. I definitely don't want to have to interact with her ever again, much less very often. Congrats on your weight loss! It's hard work, but definitely work it. I've been dropping pounds consistently since I began my own serious effort to lose weight. Dropped 21 lbs. so far in the past 60 days, 12 "officially" in the past 30 days on my medically supervised diet. I have a lot of info on Protein Drinks, in fact 73 recipes. Lemme know if you want.

As long as I got enough protein, I find protein drinks are good. When I was doing my pseudo liquid diet (two shakes, one protein bar, two Greek yogurts a day) I was getting over 80g of protein daily. I was not super hungry.
-
I heard that jimmy johns have a 'unwich' option on there menu is that true?
-
Seems like enough to me but honestly, my doctor said try to get the Protein in...so I drink a Protein shake every morning..although I feel I eat a lot and I eat what I want but it is usually healthy I haven't gained a pound and I am 25 weeks...so I would keep a book of what you eat and talk to you doctor about the amount of food your taking in..only he/she can tell you if your eating enough..and if you don't eat enough your baby will get the nutrients from you regardless...congrats :devil_smile: Also keep taking your prenatal Vitamins, I actually take extra folic acid but you have to talk to your doctor about that..

Non Liquid Pre-Op Diet?
bigbang52 replied to amb052492's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations on the approval and on taking the journey to a better life. My pre-op diet was an 800-900 calorie per day diet that consisted of a mixture of protein shakes and prepackaged foods that the doctors office sold. Some was good some was pretty bad but it worked. Lost 23 pounds in that 2 weeks despite a couple of weak moments - a last Panera's Italian sub. Told the doctor and he said he was there to do surgery and not take confession:) First couple of days will be difficult but you can do it. Just keep your eyes on the final goal - a new you. -
Non Liquid Pre-Op Diet?
KansasDelta replied to amb052492's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats! I just received my pre-approval from insurance today too but don't meet with the surgeon to set a date until 9/29. You're lucky on your pre-op diet - ours is liquids only (HMR Diet protein shakes) for 2 weeks. It's gonna be a long two weeks! -
My pre-op diet is liquids (at least 90 grams protein) of course and 2 cups veggies or fruits. Oh, and all the SF Jello I can stomach.
-
Yup....bandster hell. Hang in there, because it will be better when you can eat more substantial food. High protein foods helped me feel more satisfied. You'll eventually get there, but until you do, just take it one day / hour / minute (lol) at a time and hang in there!! You can do it!
-
I think the first thing you need to do is not go forward with the thinking that you will never have a certain food again! Yes we have to change our ways after surgery but I am able to eat a little bit of anything! I don't normally, but if there is a special occasion or meal I can have a treat sometimes. As far as the food funerals??? When I knew I had a date I went to the store before my pre op and picked up a pint of some kind of ice cream (can't even remember the flavor how sad) went home and ate half of it that night and finished it the next day.. After I ate it?? Nothing, it was just gone it didn't feel special it didn't make me feel better, in fact it did nothing for me except make me feel crappier about myself. And added to the weight I needed to lose.. Fast forward to today, I can eat normal again so if I wanted a bit of ice cream I could. So I guess what I'm saying is don't sabotage yourself with thoughts of "I need to eat this now because I can never have it again" Oh the pre op diet Zare will take care of that for you and provide the shakes, it's two weeks I think? You will go through all of the stages of food after that he has spelled out for you. Now I'm on all foods but I eat a lot different than I used too. Mostly Protein and veggies. No more rice bread and Pasta..

The last time I tried steak it did an immediate u-turn ... I tried Trader Joe's Authentic Carne Asada, it was really tender and I had no problem with it so that is another option if you find you're not able to do the steak. I eat hamburger meat all the time and have had no problems. I currently have a pot roast cooking in the crock pot, it'll be the first time I've tried that since banding so we'll see what happens Good luck on your Lap Band journey!

Lurker coming out- Surgery on 1 April
nborz replied to nborz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey! I bet you're nervous and excited huh? I know I am... this diet is kicking my butt! I ended up "cheating" somewhat yesterday, although my doctor said that the first week of the diet I can supplement with a high protein/low carb/fat meal here and there. I still felt guilty and it didn't taste good. -
Muscle milk sugar free with 15 g of protein.. Does it sound bad? I want opinions
-
I'm not terribly knowledgable about protein drinks, but do know that muscle milk chocolate is one of the few I can choke down.
