Clear liquid & protein powders...



Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I'm a bit confused on this... can you help me out.

During the "Clear liquid Phase", my docs instructions say "a high quality Protein supplement such as Isopure or powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury should be used...."

So does that mean that any Protein powder used with Water instead of milk is fine? I've ordered some Unjury...but I don't see how it's different than say Chike or GNC's 100% whey. Can I use one of the flavored Whey Protein Powders with water and it be okay during Clear liquids phase?

Thanks!

My doc said any Protein powder is okay during the 1st week an dlater. But he recommended that I stick with ones labelled "100% whey isolate" because that type of Protein is more completely absorbed by the body.

During the 2nd week, I started the EAS carb control shakes I can get at Walmart or Sam's Club.

My doctor said that I could use my whey Protein that I bought from GNC and mix it with Water. He said to try it (sip, sip, sip) and if it does not cause a problem it would be fine. I had my sleeve on 5/20/13 and started the shakes today. So far, so good. I'm sipping every 5 minutes and it's going down fine.

I've been experimenting with different Protein shakes.....I just tried:

Scoop of vanilla EAS whey Protein power

8 oz Silk light vanilla soy milk

A pinch of MIO orange/tangerine Water Enhancer

Put it in my Nutribullet

And OMG it's super duper YUMMY!! Like drinking a Dreamsicle milk shake!

That's what my NUT said the Unjury products are high Protein low carb low fat and low sugar and they taste good ... So I just hope I like it after surgery I got a few samples from my NUT & tried it & they are very good !!! So I pray I will be able to hold them in :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
