protein drinks and amt of wt lost



Recommended Posts

For those of you that have lost a significant amount of weight, do/did you drink Protein Shakes like adkins Protein Drinks (especially for breakfast)? Did you feel that Protein drinks slowed your weight loss at all? When I did Atkins several years ago, many people then said that the protein drinks hendered their weight loss......but that is all I can get down b4 lunch and I am not doing Atkins with the band ...just trying to make healthy choices....Just curious...

Hi Bandedshopgirl

I Had The Band Put In On October 5th, I Lost 26lbs In Nine Days, Since Then My scale At Home Has Stayed The Same. I Have Been Drinking 2-3 Protein Shakes Per Day.(gnc100%protein). I Am Curtious Too, Can This Be Slowing Weight Loss Process?

I got my band in April, but did not get restriction and start losing weight until after I was filled at the end of June. Since then, I have lost almost 40 pounds. I drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast every morning as it is all I can get down as well. It has not hindered my progress at all.

Nup. I dont like them and I dont find them necessary, I eat a smaller version of the healthy breakfasts I always ate - Cereal, fruit and yogurt usually. Maybe an egg on toast. Very occasionally just a piece of toast.

liquid calories dont fill me up anyway. I'd be looking for something else to eat an hour or two later and I dont believe in Protein at the expense of carbs either.

I start my day with a supa Protein mix I made up lol. I take an Atkin's chocolate royal shake pre-mixed kind 11 oz. and add one scoop of chocolate Unjury protien powder. It ends up being supa rich, kinda thick, chocolatey goo lol. I love it! I get 35 grams of protein in it. I really like it and I don't get hungry until about 1 o'clock. I usually have a south beach diet Protein Bar for lunch or a WW microwave meal or left overs from supper or tuna/mayo and avocado on kashi crackers. Those are kind of my staples for lunch quisine lol. Then for supper I have whatever I want, even pizza sometimes. I eat SLOW and chew well and stop when I get my stop sign. It took a while to figure out but now I know when I've had enough. Every day I get my 65g of protein in no problemo. I also take my Vitamins and drink my Water and am pretty religious about my biotin.. don't want to lose my hair if I can help it!! Ive been steadily losing. I also try to exercise daily.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
