Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone as ever heard of or used Protein 100? I was in a vitamin supply store earlier today and the worker was telling me about it. There are 15g protein in 1 oz, this just sounds to good to be true. I'm emailed my contact at my surgeons office but wanted to throw it out here as well. I searched and did not find anything on it.

Kaiser Wls Patients
Larry Stuto replied to hayleylamas's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did sleeve with Kaiser. No it will not un qualify you. I asked the same question. Had to lose 20lbs. pre surgery. Lost 26lbs. They go by original weight. Good luck. I just hit my goal of 175 from 297. I love my sleeve and have had NO problems. I don't even notice I had surgery except for the amount of food I can eat is so little. Just what I needed. I love the fact that sleeve lets you eat anything you want. The portions was my problem and now it is solved. Bypass surgery restricts you from Dairy and sugers . Not to mention ALL the problems they seem to have after surgery. I think Sleeve is the BEST option out there, Best of luck to you and your new Life/figure/. LOL! -
Hi, everyone! I’m on my 6th day of this liquid pre-op diet that consists of 4 Protein Shakes a day. I know some people have diets where they can have solids, but it doesn’t state that on mine. I’m having issues with the Protein shakes. I’ve picked up several kinds and I’m having a hard time getting them down at this point and I almost rather not consume anything. I definitely need the protein though, so I’m trying to push through and not starve myself. Did anyone have a similar experience?

Can you all recommend some affordable, not-so-sweet Protein powders? I know there is unflavored unjury, which I plan to get, and unjury chicken broth flavored powder, which i am considering, but are there any flavored protein powders that are kinda sweet'ish. I have a powerful sweet tooth BUT can't handle things that are too sweet.. and I'm PRE-op. I can only imagine that sensitivity getting stronger. I'd like a powder with a hint of sweetness but all the ones I've tried are very, very sweet. I'd forgotten how sweet they are until today when I made one (been a few months since the clinic told me to stay away from them because I'll be sick of them post-op, better to to make a bad thing worse by getting sick of them now) but I was trying a recipe for a caramel frap Protein Drink and 2 hours later I sit STILL trying to get it down (not even half done) because its overwhelmingly sweet Any ideas?? To draw an analogy that may help you to understand my position on sweet, think about cake. Imagine there are 3 types of ppl in the world when it comes to sweets. Ones that don't like cake at all (prefer salty to sweet for example), ones that like the cake but not the icing because its too sweet and ones that like the icing BECAUSE its so sweet. I fit in the second category. Literally. I like cake because it has a subtle hint of sweetness but hate icing because one bite and I've had more than my fill of sweets.

BANDED 11/29/10, ONLY LOST 10 LBS....WTH...
Melissannde replied to fusionbell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh.. the bodybugg is a good idea. Also consider a Polar Heart Rate Monitor or a Fitbit or BodyMedia. All good options to help you more accurately determine what you're burning. -
It's a powdered peanut butter that is low fat/low calorie and higher in protein. I've heard it's really good, but I haven't tried it yet. It's kind of expensive I think. I like regular peanut butter, and it's not like I can eat alot of it being sleeved. lol
-
It's powdered peanut butter. Has like 85% less fat, but still tastes just like peanuts. I shop at kroger and in my store they keep it with the organic foods. It's a little more expensive, like $5, but it is a great protein addition to smoothies.
-
Thanks everyone for the help!! But I noticed someone on here said that our taste and what you able to tolerate changes after surgery. So do you recommend waiting till after surgery to buy protein shakes? I was going to purchase some to have for after surgery.
-
I am 4 months post op and getting tired of drinking the Protein. I usually mix skim milk and make a cholocate shake. Does the unfmavored unjury change the consistancy of the soup?
-
I've heard of folks using egg protein but haven't personally tried it . Word of advice, just save the receipt and return it if you don't like it. Life's too short to eat nasty food.

Thanks, everyone! I had a slice of what they said was thin crust pizza (didn't seem so thin to me), and mainly ate the cheese and toppings from 1 slice w/ a few bites of the crust. I was fine until the crust started expanding and then I felt really full. I think pizza will be one of those once in a blue moon things until my body can handle bread better. I haven't done raw veggies yet, so salad wasn't an option.

Are all of the calcium options that people have listed in this thread in the form of citrate? I am struggling to find a Calcium that is in the form of Citrate. That is in gummy form.

Anyone try an Oatmega bar? 14 grams of Protein. http://givebar.com/products

I can't stand the drinks and haven't drunk any since moving to solids. I try and get all of my protein from just eating regular food, but if I find I am falling short, then I do eat a protein bar.

GNC has a great whey based protein drink that is called cellucor. It's 30g of protein and I use 5oz of skim free milk which is 39g! I find it easy to get my protein in now. There are no additives also. The chocolate is really good. Cellucor Super Sport
-
how much daily protein is our goal ? & how much can the body take at a time? :thumbup:
-
The only way I would know would be to take a couple of those New Whey liquid protein shots...those are about 42g's of protein at a time, and they're less than 4oz. each. I don't suggest it, but that's how it could be done.

Try Nectar brand protein powders. I love there cappuccino one..the even have an Oreo cookie and chocolate mouse flavor! There are over 20 flavors for water and milk:)
-
I use protein shakes from designer whey and champion whey i went online and bought it. Vitashoppe.com.. my friend that had surgery 11 yrs ago introduced me to them. And so happy she did cause i cant stand stuff that taste gross. I love the cookie and cream one along with many others and like 1-2 g sugar comparied to some others
-
My nutritionist says your body can only absorb around 32-34 grams of protein at once, so eating/drinking more than that isn't necessary.
-
I like all the same ones as @@Inner Surfer Girl. . I would add UNJURY chicken soup for a non-sweet option.

Hello loves :] So this past week i've been really randomly sick :c , and i feel perhaps I am not getting enough protein in and my mom suggested going back on shakes. for the two weeks post op and pre op I was useing the GNC brand powders and now even the smell of them as i try to drink that make me sick. So while doing some googleing i came upon "Nectar" band powders and have read some good things about them i was just checking with my VST family to see what you guys like best. have you tried them? recipies? fav flavor? just insite is all!
