Can the human body absorb that much Protein at one time? I heard that the body can only absorb so much protein at a time like 20g or so. I was thinking about getting some whey protein, but I was curious about this.

I love the Whey Protein body fortress muscle whey protein. You dont have to do the whole 50 grams at once. I know mine is 26 grams of protein for 1 scoop and 130cal and you can add Water or milk. Dr says its good as long as carbs and sugars are low

Funny you say that! My husband just brought me another "sample" It is a 2oz shot, whey Protein by body fortress that has 26g of Protein, 110, 0 fat, 1carb and 0 sugars.. It is fruit punch flavored.

BUT they are $2.00 each.. so I was just telling him I'd have to use the big jug.

Does Whey protein bulk you up?

I have tried the chocolate which i love , the vanilla is OK if you want to add stuff to it like fruit and thing like that, i have it plain. They have strawberry that I haven't tried. I did try the punch shots those I'm not crazy about because I'm not a Water drinker and I'm drinking crystal lite all day so I needed to brake it up, and they are expensive. The large container of powder is cheap and easy. If you go out you can put a scoop in a baggie and always ask for water or carry bottled water or just get some skim milk. I have even heated up water or milk and drank it like hot coco very tasty. Desperate times bring desperate measures. LOL

I am one of the lucky ones I guess, I'm a month post op and i am never hungry. I have been on solids and can only eat 4 oz and I'm over full so I have been doing the Protein Drink for Breakfast. When I was 2 weeks post op I thought i was hungry around 4 but we dont eat dinner till 6 so I would have half of 1 scoop and 2 oz of milk and that filled me till dinner sometimes to full to fit dinner. So for me i find these do bulk you up.

I used the same stuff....One serving of that stuff, mixed with 1% milk, gives you 60 gram of Protein in one serving...Thats almost all the protein you need for the day. My doc says to shoot for 60-70 a day. so I always drink a Protein Shake for breakfast and get my protein out of the way; then I just eat/drink whatever I want the rest of the day and I don't really have to worry about the protein... Its good stuff... :laugh:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
