Protein Water Question



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm having a hard time with the Protein Shakes. I'm trying all kinds of flavors but I just don't like them. I know I may have to force them down & I will if it comes to that. My question is can I use Protein Water & unflavored Protein Powder to get my protein in every day after surgery and not drink shakes? I tried the unflavored protein in water and it tasted just fine so I know I can use that. I've got a case of protein water on the way too. Any advice would be helpful! Thank you!

(I'm sure this question has been asked over & over but my search results were 17,000+ and nobody has time for that, ha!)

I love the flavored Protein waters to top off my protein if I didn't quite make my protein goal at the end of the day. I find the shakes sit better in the morning on an empty stomach but by the end of the day it can be heavy. So long as you take your Vitamins and are getting in protein, I don't see why not.

Honestly call your dietician and ask.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
