Consequences of no protein



Recommended Posts

Where can you buy the premier brand shakes at? I want to try those since there is more Protein in every shake! Also the Biotin where can you get that? I am only 2 days post op but I love reading what everyone has to say!!

I buy Premier Protein at BJ's.....12 pack for $17.99. They are my favorite. GNC has Biotin sublingual ....sometimes buy one get one free!

I was thinking of buying the Syntrax nectar at Vitamin shoppe..which flavor is your go-to flavor?

I wonder if they have sample packets to try out?

They do have single serving packs but kinda hit or miss on flavors at least at my store..you can order single serve packs on their site also so you can try before buying big container...I use vanilla bean torte in sugar free vanilla pudding it taste like cake batter lol

You should be able to find Biotin anywhere that sales supplements, I know they have them a Wal-Mart, and Rite-Aid pharmacy.

Check this out guys and gals; what do you think? I'm going to start taking this 2 week before surgery and after. 1oz if 15 grams of protein! I thought this was GREAT! Is there anything better out there?

My Nut list staes 100% whey or soy Protein isolate

Not sure about the hydroloyzed collagen?

I'm not an expert on supplements by any means.

Hopefully someone else chimes in :)

You are correct...collagen is junk Protein for us. There is an awesome thread, I think on the nutrition forum, that explains the science of why collagen protein is a waste.

Milk by-product protein is what we need post-op...whey, caseinate, etc.

I'm surprised by the "I only lose 1-2 pounds per week" comments...that's all I lose, and I'm very pleased with it. How much do you think you're supposed to be losing?!?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
