protein powder durring pregnancy - 8 weeks



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and trying to keep up with my Protein intake. I had my sleeve in 2017. I normally have a Protein Shake in the morning (pre pregnancy) but I've read that they may not be safe. Has anyone continued to use protein powders while pregnant? What brand did you use?

pre pregnancy I discovered this brand and I loved it

Hey there. Congrats on your pregnancy! I am also 8 weeks pregnant. I was told by the midwife to start back drinking Protein Shakes. I had my surgery in 2016 and haven't had a Protein Shake since 2017. I have not heard that they are bad for you but she specifically recommended the Premier Protein drinks.

I'm almost 5 weeks pregnant. I've been using a couple of scoops of unflavored Protein Powder in my morning smoothies. I do a cup of baby spinach, a cup of frozen fruit, a cup and a half of almond milk, and a banana, then some Protein powder mixed in there. It's the only way I get healthy stuff in me for Breakfast since sold food is seriously unattractive until later in the day.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
