Protein

So i am 6 month post op and I never took or have taken Protein shakes? I am doing very bad? My nutrionist back home just never told me anything about it but i see that every one here takes.

So i decided to buy the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Medical Quality Protein™

! I just dont know how much to take or when to take it? And with what quantity of Water?

Im 21 years old and ive lost only about 60 lbs :( ive been stall for like 2 months already. Im getting very depressed and feel this is not going anywhere. Specially because being a college student is so hard to keep up with a diet.

Can someone help me to tell me how much scoops of that powder i shall be taking and how many times a day? And also if its a good Protein Powder??

@@yescobar there should be a scoop in the can of powder. Usually it has shifted all the way down to the bottom and you have to dig for it.

Really? I thought i actually dig for it and it wasn't there but when ever i get home i'll look for it again. Thanks

I find the shakes and flavored powders to be too sweet and weird tasting, so I buy the unflavored Protein powder. I mix it with about 6 ounces of milk and a couple ice cubes. It basically just tastes like milk, which isn't great, but I'm not drinking it for the flavor!

Just be sure to know it is also a meal in itself. I use premade premier protein. I am shocked ur nutritionist didn't talk to u about protein powders or shakes. And also on your boot camp days increase those calories for sure. What was your starting weight opposed to goal weight?

Im shocked too! Back in Nicaragua nutrionists are just not thay good and they just dont believe in drinking proteins but eating it somehow. The day of my surgery i was 214 , right now im 160/163 my goal is to be 120/125

The choices are endless with the Protein powder. Add to coffee, pudding. shake, etc. I haven't tried unjury yet. I just stick to a whey isolate protein mix, most are about the same as far as calories, fat, protein, carbs, and sugar.

Perhaps you make have cut down on your protein or Water intake?

Today is my first time drinking protein. I would only eat tilapia for lunch and dinner etc. but i also drink alcohol on weekends. And basically eat anything just in small portions

@yescobar. I could not stomach the thick sweet shakes I used during pre op. Now I mix unflavored powder in skim milk and I like it. It just taste like milk. I never drank milk before, but I have ever had my stomach cut out before. I drink the protein because I have to. I'm currently unable to eat enough proteins.

My nutritionist said that post sleeve women should be getting around 50 grams of protein a day (at the very least). I think with the Unjury it was the equivalent of a scoop and a half. I can't tolerate sweet stuff for the most part so I switched over to Isopure's Green Tea Lemonade drink and have done well with that. You have to drink at least one and a half bottles of the ready to drink Isopure to get the 50gm of protein.
