Clear protein shots?



Recommended Posts

Ok - with surgery booked for June 10th I have plenty of time to prepare..... and have been looking at Protein shakes - I think I have found one which will be ok and isn't in too large an amount (just over 1lb jars) which I can get on the web.

My thoughts are now on the clear liquid stage where you need to get as much Protein as possible.

Keep in mind I live in Spain so can't get powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Isopure....

But I did find these which I can also order......

6 x 45g Dymatize Elite Liquid Protein

Container Size: 1 Box

Serving Size: 1 bottle (89ml)

Servings Per Container: 6

Elite Liquid Protein Amount Per Serving:

Total Calories: 180

Protein: 45g

Total Carbohydrates: 0g

-Sugars: 0g

-Dietary Fibre: 0g

Fat: 0g

-Saturates: 0g

Sodium: 125mg

Elite liquid Protein Ingredients:

Pure Filtered Deionized Water, Elite Liquid Protein Blend (Biopeptide, whey Protein Isolate and Casein Protein Isolate), L-Glutamine), Citric Acid, Natural and Artificial Flavours, Sucralose, Red #40

Is this the sort of thing I should be looking at during those first few days to get as much protein as possible??

Ever hopeful!

Any of the Protein mixes can be mixed with Water and they count as a clear liquid. Once you start mixing them with milk, they're considered a full liquid.

The Protein Shots are not the best source of Protein, but it's better than nothing. It's collagen based protein, and honestly I could not tolerate them post-sleeve. I did use them with my band early out, but they are extremely sweet tart tasting post-sleeve for me. They also made me puke even when I diluted them in Water.

Can you order any of the sample packs from various distributors?

Isopure is affectionately called Isopuke in this household. Even my husband (can tolerate anything) nearly puked his guts up on Isopure. He wanted to use it after working out, but he couldn't tolerate it either. So, you aren't missing anything with the Isopure.

Ahhh - Ok thanks Tiff for the rapid response!

I didn't think the Protein with Water counted as clear.... so that'll make things a lot easier I reckon.

I'm going to take the info on the one I reckon will be ok with me to the next appt with the dietician so can run them past her to check they're ok, and i did test a sample one today,half of it mixed with Water and also half of the pack with milk as well to see what difference it made - I was shocked how different it tasted!

My concern is that I don't want to buy massive jars as most say tastes change post op, so 1lb jars sound ok.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
