Vitamins and Protein



Recommended Posts

I could not, once I was banded, eat those nasty Vitamins that were recommended by my nut. Today I went directly to a Vitamin store and purchased Natural Vitality Optimum liquid vitamins. I tried my first dose and they're so much better! Although expensive, they are worth not having to chew vitamins.

I also bought organic hemp Protein in tropical flavor. Has anyone tried the protein that you just add to juice? I could not take another thick gross Protein Shake. Let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone has tried either liquid vitamins or the protein for juice.

hi - I already sort of answered in the other topic - but let me know how the organic hemp Protein is!! The stuff I'm using is whey protein so it tends to have an almost milky flavour... but as I said thankfully not that thick yucky stuff - ugh. I had some of those pre-op shakes left, and haven't been able to touch them.

I can't take the liquid vitamins, don't like the taste. I take gummies. They for me are much better. (But to each his/her own)! Glad you fund something you like. Karen

The hemp Protein was so gross!! Would not recommend that at all. my nutritionist suggested a whey protein that I can add to Soup or juice or anything I happen to be eating our drinking. Does anyone know of a good one?

Try unjury unflavored.

Chez, I need to bump up my Protein, if I add Protein powder to food items, does it change the texture like cottage cheese or chicken salad for example?

To me the Gummy ones have a lot of sugar. Has anyone found some that have less than 3g per serving?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
