Do they even make protein pills?
-
The 42g New Whey protein bullets are the easiest way to get your protein. Unfortunately, they are about 3.50 each. Each bullet is only 3 oz. so it is really easy to drink it. It takes maybe 5 sips to get the whole thing down and it is more than half of what you need for the whole day. If you haven't tried them, they have a tart taste. My husband says if reminds him of a Sweet Tart. Some people complain of an aftertaste, but I don't notice it. I like the tropical punch. If you buy them make sure you get the ones that say 42g.

Any good protein shakes??
jujuvee replied to LuvNMe77's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use Body Fortress, it's a whey protein powder. It comes in a huge tub and Walmart sells it for 14.99. I buy vanilla because it's more versatile. My favorite recipe is 1 cup of milk, 1.5 scoops powder, 1tbsp peanut butter, 2 tsp of chocolate sugar free pudding mix and crushed ice. Like I said, with the vanilla powder you can come up with many recipes. I sometimes use lite O.J and make an orange julius. -
I figured it out, go to the site i posted earlier, and then u will see option to get code and cut code and select my settings and update about me and signature by clicking on the code icon and just paste code

Finally surgery in December 6th.
Polarbearwifey replied to Polarbearwifey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Premier protein and body fortress. Now the premier protein vanilla ones they are good but for me is just taste to sweet. I prefer the strawberry cream. Body fortress I never tried before but it has 30g of protein per scoop sames as premier protein. I decided to buy body fortress just because I can't find the premier protein powder anywhere and is more expensive to buy them pre-made. That's the only reason. But body fortress in the other hand has 30g so is pretty much equal Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Finally surgery in December 6th.
chiarraim replied to Polarbearwifey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am December 6th, and have been on 3 Protein shakes a day for a week now, but I am allowed as many leafy greens as I want. If I get too hungry, I have a hard boiled egg. Yesterday, I had some Thanksgiving turkey. Luckily, hunger hasn't been an issue, but I get really tired around 8pm and go to bed early. On the plus side, I wake up feeling much more refreshed!

Thanks everyone! What exactly is Biotin? Is it a pill? Can I get it at a pharmacy, or do I have to go to GNC or something? I think it's weird that lack of protein causes hair loss. I feel like I eat more protein now than ever. I probably don't b/c the portions are small, but I am so focused on protein and always eat it first -- even in a snack-- and I obviously never did that before WLS! anyhow thanks for the input!

bandayed, I am glad you asked the question! Me too! I am in the same predicament as you. I've read that it can be from the stress of surgery some 3-4 months after, to weight loss (lack of protein). It seems that when hair follicles are shocked (from surgery) they go into the resting phase. Those are the ones that are falling out. My surgeon said and also what I read, that this is temporary. For me it's been about a month. I am constantly running my fingers through my hair and shedding about 10-15 hairs every hour it seems.... Shawn

The major reason for the hair loss is lack of protein. Once that you get your protein back up the hair loss should slow down and eventually stop all together. Any surgery is stressful to the body itself and stress can be a cause but from the several seminars I have been to they stress the importancey of protein to keep hair loss at a minimal and say it is more from lack of protein then the stress of surgery itself. Hope this helps!

Advice for going thru "bandster hell"
aufan replied to aufan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I'm trying to eat smaller meals a little sooner between. Thank you for those tips! Like others have said I feel full quicker so I know the band is doing something to help. My weight is fairly stable, no big up or down changes. My goal for now is to remain stable until my first fill April 26. As for calories my paperwork says 1500 calories but it also says no more than one cup meals three times a day. How do you get 1500 calories into 3 cups unless its pure sugar or carb loaded?? So this is a question for my visit next week. As for now I am hanging around 1000-1300 calories per day. I'm making decent food choices focused on Protein and veggies and fruit. As I come up on being 4 weeks post op I'm trying not to be discouraged that there hasn't been weight loss since the first days post op. I am relishing in the weight that has come off and enjoying my pants being longer (as I have dropped some weight my pants have become longer and looser)!! Any more tips/war stories about your time in BH??? -
I was sleeved 7/23/2013 and am diabetic too! Weight is coming off slowly, but I have to be very cautious with carbs and sugars. My weightloss has improved since going back on my meds (metformin, 500mg 2x daily) and I'm exercising 5 days a week now. I try to eat lots of protein and usually drink a protein shake for breakfast. I eat fish, turkey, chicken but no beef. Snacks consist of string cheese, almonds and SF pudding. (sometimes beef jerky). Eating between 600- 800 calories per day, but I feel hungry a lot too. May increase protein this week.

Four days post op, and I feel hungry...
ThreeCrows posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, not stomach hungry. I'm full of liquids, though I'm struggling to get in the 100 gms per day my surgeon recommends. I'm varying my intake with things on my list--Protein shakes, Jello, sugar free pudding and yogurt, broth, even 4oz a day of V8, which is my favorite. But my mouth is craving real food. I'm not a sweets person in general, I like protein and complex carbs, and I'm just so un satisfied. I'm dreaming about food, I would give my right arm for a piece of cheese. My surgeon recommends no carbs for a year, I can live with that I think, but I want to eat something real! I've read so much about people who feel n hunger at all. While my pouch feels full, I wouldn't describe this as "no hunger". Any suggestions? -
Governments are so ridiculous when looking at things like this, I wonder if there is some other motive that is preventing them from approving bands as an option in all provinces. The band has proven to be a safer procedure with less recovery time and risk of complications that other techniques, while having no significantly different weight loss after 5 years compared with the other surgeries. When you look at factors like time lost to employers and the cost if the surgery overall why would they not want to do more bands. In my opinion they should stop doing RNYs etc and go strictly to band, only reserving the other options for cases where the band is not appropriate. Andrew

Feeling weak and light headed after VSG
SKCUNNINGHAM replied to christina420's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved on 2/22 of this year. I have not felt light headed and shaky since I got out of the hospital. Some of the meds I was on right after surgery made me so light headed, I could have floated off the bed! I eat 450 - 600 calories per day, ~ 60 oz. of Protein, get my 60+ ounces of fluids in, and take Vitamins daily. No problems so far. One caveat to the above - when I stepped on the scale and it was less than 200 pounds - I was so elated, I felt light headed. Don't drive yourself crazy worrying - focus on building good eating habits while you are saving your $$. Good luck. -
Any awesome gadgets we rny peeps need?
ranee17 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just wondering if anyone has found some awesome tools/gadgets that help us make things a little easier?? You know food scales, measuring devices, etc?? I'll admit that I dont measure as much as I should and this is probably why its so hard to get in my protein recommendation. Anyone got some "CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DEVICES" besides the iphone?? heheh -
Preop Diet Or Not?
Eat That Frog replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am the same size as you, my doctor requires a hybrid diet. Daily, I can have 2 Protein shakes, 2 servings skim milk, 1 serving of fruit, 1 Protein Bar and a light dinner (no carbs). It has been tough, but I know that every pound I lose before surgery is one less I have to lose after surgery. I am glad he requires this, otherwise I know I would have "pigged out" and gained weight prior to surgery. When is your surgery? -
Pick up there Cookies n creme, strawberry milkshake, chocolate Peanut Butter, chocolate milk, and vanilla creme. All in MUSCLE MILK LIGHT. There chocolate is lousy, but this,,, will keep you from being bored. It's good stuff and low in calories to. 195 cal. 25 G Protein. I drink this stuff every day, and my stock is running low, so I need to buy some also. If you see a good deal let me know. Right now, Amason.com has the best price I can find. Good Luck, Shirley.

Need some advice
bebeandkoko replied to Danny'sGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So sorry to hear you're feeling bad. It sounds like the beginning of Protein deficiency and dehydration. The protein deficiency can happen fast and is very trying to recover from when you get to the point of not being able to hold anything down. I highly recommend you go to the ER tonight and not wait for an appointment. You definitely need IV fluids. I hope you feel better! Hugs. -
You've just been through major surgery listen to your body just make sure to get your protein water all in sip sip walk sip and sleep and do it again and again just when awake get out of bed and a little sunshine makes you feel better to

No meat...? Oh the struggle...
swimbikerun replied to ShaDiva's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Would you all be interested in a forum where you could discuss vegetarian and vegan options without any pressure? We'd of course have an emphasis on getting in as much B12, Protein, etc. as possible but without the pressure thrown at us to have meat. I know I felt uncomfortable with my surgeon who always pushed those things or just Beans at me when I couldn't do them. -
Skim Pluz Milk?

i use it in my cream of wheat which adds even more protein. -
Hi, y'all. I'm going to a 4th of July BBQ on Wednesday and told the hostess I would be glad to bring a side dish. Of course, I was thinking I could bring something I could eat on the Mushy Food / Week Three Stage since I doubt they're going to be grilling up Protein Shakes on the grill for me. Any suggestions for a side dish, other than mashed potatoes?
