Really need the PROTEIN



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am in my 2nd week of the Bariatric Full liquid diet, Stage II and I just don't know what to do. I can't stand the Protein Drinks or the Protein powder. I feel so tired and sluggish all the time. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Protein shots and greek yogurt are about your best alternatives when it gets to that point. Good luck to you...I've been there. If you can't stomach the Protein shot straight, add it to Water and make it into a juice beverage.

This is the time your body is demanding more carbs for energy. Don't give in. Your body isn't used to using it's own storage of fat for movement. It's common and it will go away as soon as your body turns on itself for energy.

This is why it's necessary to consume your Protein. If you don't the body will turn on muscle for energy too. Talk to your doctor and see if you can come off the liquid phase a little sooner. Refried Beans, egg drop Soup and other pureed foods with meat and Beans in them can provide you with the Protein you want.

So sorry you are having such a tough time. I wouldn't last on anything a didn't enjoy either. I have never heard or tried have the Protein drink guys name. Tried a few and tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla. It's good but you get bored. I started adding Int'l

delight coffee Creamer flavors and other things tats my base. They come sugar free, fat free. etc I get the regular. I didn't get fat on that.

and add a 1/4 cup to my shake. I'm 2 Years in and thrilled. Lost 80 lbs. and that's it. Far as I want to go. I am older and do not want the skin falling off my face and neck.

Some before and afters are a little to much. I wanted health, to feel and look good. And be able to move well. I have done that. I even had 2 let outs before the holidays and no weight gain. Starting to eat a little better. Also started juicing to round out nutrients. Feel Fab as a large love me my life my clothes.

I was 30. Good Luck Girls.

      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... :(
