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.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
