What protein drinks or mixes do you recommend?
-
I measure my food and usually eat 2 oz dense protein and 1/4 c. Veg or fruit. I almost never have room for carbs. I'm lucky that I can handle chicken, beef, etc. Cause it really fills me up and gives a lot of protein bang for the buck.

Hang in there, the liquid diet was the hardest part for me! I had to do a week of 4 shakes a day. Do you have to do bariatric fusion? If not, searching for a brand you like may be a good idea. I really liked the Ensure RTD shakes suring my pre op diet. Make sure you look for the high protein ones, there are different kinds. You can find them at most grocery stores. I also liked muscle milk. If you are looking for powders (which I prefer) than you can order samples at www.nashuanutrition.com. I like the syntrax nectar brand- my favorite flavors are the chocolate truffle and cappuccino. Good luck!

tomorrow is my last day of my pre-op liquid diet and I am so tired of chocolate!!! I never thought I'd say that but after drinking so many protein shakes a day, I'm so ready for my clear liquids to start after surgery.

Surgery on Friday, 21st...Anyone else?
darr5380 replied to darr5380's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello new-bandsters, I was wondering if you are hungry before it is time to eat. My nutrition protocol is to eat proper protein source every 5 hours period. I may snack in between on sugar popsicles or jello, but I find that I get hungry in between. It isn't head hunger either, its the rumbling in the tummy kind. I have been following directions, but I'd like to know that I've got some buddies out there in my situation. Therefore, we shall struggle together. -
Surgery on Friday, 21st...Anyone else?
Time4Me replied to darr5380's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi 9/21's. I went in for surgery at around 10:30 on Friday. I slept through recovery, the hour drive home and until 1:30 am Saturday morning. I am still very sleepy and having gas pains in my chest, but not really my shoulders. Today was the first day I felt soreness on the insie instead of just the incisions. I have been drinking Myoplex chocolate Protein shakes 3 times a day, a Jello or pudding for a snack and some broth for another snack. I have always been a huge Water drinker, but I am having difficulty because I am kind of scared to drink too much. I also haven't been able to go big potty, which I am sure is causing some of my discomfort. Someone recommended a stool softener and I didn't buy it, so I guess it's my own fault. Honestly, it hasn't hit home yet that this is my life now! I have to be on full liquids for 2 weeks and mushies for 2 weeks, then I get a fill and am on my way! I think I am going to go take a nap! Congratulations everyone! -

Darr, I was banded on 9/24 and I'm hungry too. I'm adding protein to liquid 3 times a day, but I still may not be getting enough protein. I tried to add it to tomato Soup yesterday, but it just clumped. Are you having any luck adding it to heated liquids? -

darr5380 replied to darr5380's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I haven't tried adding it to warm meals. I drink protein shakes: Slim Fast Low Carb, unjury. I was told I could eat soup, so I bought Cambells soup in hand creamy chicken. THis seems to help but I still have grumbling in the tummy, just not as often. I think its getting a little better. How do you feel? -
I mix mine with carbmaster milk -- lactose free, nonfat, much higher protein, lower calorie, and lower carb than regular skim milk. It comes in plain, vanilla, and chocolate. However, it is only available at Kroger stores, which are mostly in the Midwest and parts of the South -- not sure where you are, but many grocery chains carry some sort of milk that is higher in protein and/or lower calorie or carb than regular milk. It isn't the fat in whole milk that scares me but the calories and carbs. I also consider almond milk a waste because of the low protein content. Many people use soy milk as an alternative to regular dairy milk as well, or use almond milk and make up the protein elsewhere. It really depends on what you like, what you can tolerate, and what your plan calls for in terms of calories/carbs/protein etc.

I know there are a TON of posts like this but....I wanted to make mine a little different. I'm trying to pick things up every once in a while so I'm not left with this huge shopping trip right before surgery. First, I'm required to do a 2 week low carb high Protein diet. 2 meals a day and 2/3 shakes a day (sorry can't remember if it's 3 or not). If you did a diet like this, what did you actually eat compared to what you bought to eat? Also, the day before surgery I have to drink two bottles of Isopure. What are your favorite and least favorite flavors? Third. What did you REALLY need at the hospital? I'm an over packer and I don't want to bring much of anything haha. That's my goal anyway. Last but not least. Post op diet for the first few weeks. What did you try? What did you like, what don't you like now? Things I should try? I'm going to try really hard not to buy anything that got me to where I am now. I've seen some lists and I'm super surprised at some of the items that were consumed and (I assume) were doctor approved. The goal is as clean as I can be during the soft stage. Thank you for any responses!

Yes I think that premier protein is good to drink. I have tried chocolate vanilla and the new one strawberry and creme which is good.

Lots Of Stress Eating Lately - Pre Surgery
PEvette replied to Looking Ahead's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, if you dont stop the stress eatting you will gain weight! I was given my date back in Feburary, and I told myself I was going to lose at least 30 pounds between Feb and June....then stress crept up and bit me in the butt! My 5th Graders getting Spring Fever, trying to get and keep them focused for their state assessments, I got frustrated and said to heck with the Protein shakes, eating right and stuff, and started up my old habit of going to Mickey D's in the morning.... Well I stepped on the scale on May 20th (I have surgery in 3 weeks) and I'd gained 20 pounds! I started my pre-op on that day! Now I'm day 5 into it...I am approaching the wall (I getting the urge to eat) but I'm trying to stay focused.... I am the captain of this body and I will control it!! One day at a time!!! Commit to taking back control.... -
Become a vegetarian maybe?
foodfighter78 replied to nomorechubbybutt63's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I struggle to eat meats or fish or eggs, so I'm turning to a vegetarian diet. I'm 11 months out and I eat about 50/60 gr of protein. Lots of nuts, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cheese, tofu, different kinds of beans. I had a run bypass -
Become a vegetarian maybe?
Afrikanaaa replied to nomorechubbybutt63's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a vegan, and have been for 2+ years, and haven't had dairy for even longer than that. Going into surgery my nutritionist advised that I'd probably have to use whey sources for Protein because there's no other way I'd be able to get the adequate amount of without exceeding my liquid goal but my body still isn't used to it. Although it's been a little over 3 weeks (pre & post-op), my body is fighting the whey. ???? And post-op I'll definitely have to go veggie for protein. -
Become a vegetarian maybe?
careya123 replied to nomorechubbybutt63's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not a fan of many protein sources myself. I'm not vegetarian, but I have been eating a lot of vegetarian meals lately (I haven't had surgery). Check out A Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner. He's a bariatric surgeon who is really into nutrition and is very vegan friendly. You should get some good ideas there about what to eat. Also, his YouTube videos are fantastic. -
I'm a big fan of Premier Protein shakes too. I get them at Sam's and Kroger (in 4 packs when I have a coupon). All of the flavors are good.

Hello all.. Just came here to share my gastric sleeve story with the rest of you .. My name is Monica and I'm 23 years old. For as long as I can remember I have struggled with being overweight. At my heaviest (October-April of last year) i weighed 295lbs at 5'5. I had never been more miserable. It was in September 2011 I decided weight loss surgery was my only option. I attended the seminar and immediately new the sleeve was for me. It took six long months of jumping through hoops and doing everything insurance required of me before i finally had my surgery in April 2012. Today I am almost a year out and i weigh in at 188lbs. I have never been more happy or confident in my life! From a size 24 jeans to a 13. It's truly a blessing. I'd love to chat with all of you and make some sleeve friends. Feel free to shoot me a message sometime

Insurance or Self Pay in Mexico
AK_Bookworm replied to AK_Bookworm's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
That's a good idea... I'll start there and then I'll be able to decide which option will be cheaper. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am three weeks post and on soft foods right now, but I am finding it really hard to get everything in. If I do my 70g Protein and my Water I don't have room for me to eat anything else. And if I eat something lunch or dinner I won't be apply to get my protein in which is my #1 focus. Is starting to stress me out and I hope it gets easier to get to eat and get my protein in. This is my schedule for most days. 8:00am I start my first protein it normally takes me one hr to and hour and half to finish it, sometimes two . Then right after I started drinking water and count drinking until. 12:00pm then I try to eat some food like refined Beans ,boiled egg or tuna. 3 or 4 baby spoons I am usually full. Then I wait 30mins to drink water again By 5:00 pm I start my second protein and I am Done by 6:30 -8:30 because I eat something for lunch it takes forever to finish my protein and until I go to bed I just drink some more water. I just would like some tips so I can stop stressing about how I am going to get everything in when I don't feel like eating all day, and the only way is to eat all day. Any advice I would appreciate. Thank you

...I dread when this starts for me. I have hair to my waist. I have heard that you need to improve protein, increase biotin, Nioxin shampoo/conditioner once it begins & that it will eventually stop.

Not meeting my calorie goals
suzzzzz replied to liljilo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was only given protein and liquid goals and concerns trade on them. The calories will follow. Stalls happen for a variety of reasons but since you are still healing, it is likely that. At 3.5 mths out, I get on average 800 calories. It takes time to increase your intake. -
Hair is falling out and nails are chipping/weak
awillaweigh328 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So... my hair is starting to fall out. And I have VERY thick hair, so it's not very noticeable to others but it is to me. And my nails are chipping and very weak. I am taking a multivitamin and extra b12 supplement. I am getting 60 grams of protein a day too. Why would this still be happening? -
Big NSV that has created a dilemma for me.......
wannaBthinsoon replied to Joz31's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
We just follow the nutritionists guidelines. Protein first, then veggies or fruits. No simple carbs. And exercise.(which I abhor! I walk or hike...that's it) Nothing any different than yours, I bet. And if you are looking at the before and afters, I am Sherrie. But mine is more a Before and during. Cuz I'm not done. -
Hi James! It's great to have you and it's even greater than you and your wife are doing this together. I have yet to be banded, but hopefully by the end of the year. I've gone to the seminar and have gotten the info needed from my insurance company that they will cover it, etc. I, too, have been obese all of my life and actually lost a significant amount of weight from May of 2000 to March of 2001, went from 203 down to 158 through my personal trainer's high Protein, low carb diet and rigorous exercise...only to become pregnant in March of 2001 and gaining 50 pounds during the pregnancy, losting 25 after, to gaining to 280 as of February of this year. I joined WW a second time this year and lost down to 266, which I am currently. So, it's bee yoyo city for me all of my life. I wish you the very best and I think you will find this site addictive. Since I Found it back in July, I am pretty much here everyday reading new posts and getting new insight each day!
