Why proteins are so necessary after surgery ? What would happen if protein intake is about 25 grammes per day ? Thanks in advance !

Thanks. I will try GNC

What if every attempt to drink Protein drinks..you get sick from.......i have been going thru stuff with protein' date=' i am 3 weeks out and on soft foods.......what if your body is rejecting the protein drinks.[/quote']

I have found that the New whey shots are great and they stay down they give you 42 grams of protein per bottle. I drink half a bottle of Water then pour the whey protein in so it is not as sweet. It ends up like flavored water. There are many brands out there so far i have tried new whey and to go protein which has 28 grams of protein and not as sweet. I got these a cvs and walgreens. I truly hope this helps.

Protein is a MUST to maintain good muscle health! Because we are over weight and fat, we have extra stored , but you body doesn't store protein like fat. The MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE IS HEART ! I'm a cardiac patient, so I KNOW these things! DON'T damage your heart muscle, Best thing is to get your protein from food, not shots or shakes! If it has a MOTHER, it's protein , eat it first, with limited stomach size( intake ) get your protein in first!

With the small size of my sleeved stomach it would be impossible to get all the protein I need without shakes. Especially at 4 weeks post op.

This cracked me up! And so true, too.

My nut specifically told me that the protein "shots" are not a good choice early on bc almost all of them are not 100% whey isolate. So even if it days it's 28 grams if protein, it's highly unliky that you're actually getting 28 grams of protein. Could be dangerous if you're relying on them to get protein.

I noticed that when I get in my 60+ grams of protein I'm not hungry during the day and my cravings disappear. Also I noticed that I don't feel as bloated when I get in my protein. The only downside is it makes me constipated :/

Same here. When I'm getting enough Water and protein, I feel in control of my hunger and I'm making good food choices. I also find that I'm way more tired if I DON'T get enough water and protein. I just feel blah and washed out.

And ditto on the poop issues! I now take a stool softener every night and I've never had problems in that area!.
