Recommended Posts

Slim fast ready to drink low carb chocolate is my favorite for Breakfast and lunch I have power Protein which has 35g for only 11ounces they are 3.45 a can at my Vitamin shop bannana cream and chocolate is good the Cookies and cream I couldn't drink. Then I sip on Isopure 40g thru the day. At 20 ounces. And 4$ bottle squeeze in one shot of matching flavor mio and it doesn't taste like Protein Drink just like koolaid.

Then I have eggs for Breakfast tune for lunch and then some sort of dinner tonight I made roast chicken with garlic and onion stuffed in the cavity and between skin then baisted every twenty cooked till just done but supper moist, sweet potato chucked tossed in olive oil red pepper chilli powder and pinch of salt and brown sugar roasted 45 min on 400 then made steamed carrots mine cooked all three baby ones till the were mush. I chew everything till it is nothingness before swallow and I have had no problems I am three weeks out and was alllowed saltines today yay! They went great with the tuna salad i made..... I can't wait for raw veggies!

Btw I only had three baby carrots, 1 ounce of sweet potatoes and 2 ounces of chicken and it took me a hour to finish. I been working on eating slower between bites hoping to help heartburn... And I chew everything to nothingness. It felt so great to cook a real normal meal for us tonight. Next week I'll be a month out I can't wait

Because you aren't getting in enough calories and my surgeon said it could be damaging to your liver and kidneys too early out.

I'm surprised because it was on the list for Protein that my doctor recommended.

It was on our list too per our nutritionist but our surgeon had her pull it off because of the creatin. Too early out without enough calories, it could damage your kidneys and livers. Plus it's a weight gainer. Do you really want that?

Ahh gotchya, our surgen and nutritionest work close together. So i mean for me personally i will still go ahead and use the body fortress because it was recommended by them, and I've already bought some and don't want them to go to waist especially since i cannot afford to buy any other kinds. But i will deffinately be asking my ssergeon and nutritionalist about it to see what they have to say. Thanks for bringing that up though, because i had never heard about that.

I use a GNC product. It is the Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 in vanilla flavor. It taste pretty good and u can get 60g of Protein with one shake. I drink my shake for Breakfast and keeps me worry free from wondering if I had enough Protein during my day. Try it.

So, I have heard and read and also had my health care team tell me that anything over 30 grams of Protein at one time your body can't use and it will go to waste. I was told to not bother with anything that was over 30 grams per serving. Has anyone else had this advice or know anything about this issue?

Have anybody tried The Body Fortress Protein from Walmart? It has 30 gr protein.vanilla cream.

I have tried the chocolate, strawberry & vanilla (not too bad)... try putting it in a blender with ice & fat free milk. I also add sugar free pudding mix(just a little bit) for a variety of flavors...

I just asked my surgeon about this yesterday... He said your body will use all that it needs & if it doesn't need all that you ingest at one time you just pee it out. He did say it's better to spread it out over a period of time.

Protein is such an issue for me, I just can't stand the taste of any of it. Isopure works best for me right now. Grape flavor is my favorite, Apple Melon is ok, and I'm trying the blue one tomorrow. Is it really too much to ask for a completely tasteless Protein? :D

I agree with you on the nectar drinks. I haven't found a single flavor I like. I second the comment on Muscle Milk...very good but a little costly. For the money, I like the Body Fortress Protein Shake available at Walmart. It has 26 grams of Protein per serving and, if you use skim milk instead of Water, it totals at 35 grams per serving. Hard to beat that, and it tastes pretty good too.

      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!!
