Is 40g of protein a day enough?



Recommended Posts

I do drink Protein Drinks. I bought this brand I found at costco called Premier chocolate, if you have a Costco by you, and it has 30g of Protein in it and only 160 calories. It tastes good too. Here is some info on it if you want to see what it looks like http://www.premiernu...tein_shake.html I paid aroun $24 for it there but you can buy it online too. As far as I know I have only seen the chocolate flavor at my Costco here in Des Moines, Iowa.

Programs are all so different! My Doc/Nut say drink those Protein drinks a long as you like. We are supposed to have one every day during the losing phase... getting protein from other high quality sources is good too... but if you can't Drink it!

Yea. Very much agree.

Mine says no to liquid calories after mushies. Also they say meals, not single items foods. Funny, huh. I say if I could eat more than 3 ounces of food at a time, their theory would be great. I would LOVE to be able to get all of my calories in "meals" and no liquid. And if I ever get to the point of being able to take even 4 ounces at a time, maybe I'll give it a shot.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
