I am still trying to figure how to respond. Hopefully I am doing this correctly. I never been technical ?

Honey it took me forever and I still don’t have half of it down? I am a little slow sometimes

My list contains 100% Isolate Protein Powder. Brands are Unjury, Celebrate, nectar, body fortress, inspire,isopure and dymatize. I am a little defeated right now cause I did loose the 5 pounds requested but have to start on the 31st with only Water and 3 Meal Replacement shakes a day… I might die y’all. I could have done liquid easy cause I love Soup but only 3 shakes???

Can you have some bullion in your water? Only water and three shakes a day seems really harsh! What about tea? I would ask your dietitian if you could add some different clear liquids. How long is your pre-op diet?

Ouch, I hope not!

Ten years ago, the accepted opinion was the whey Protein was superior for supporting weight loss and preventing muscle catabolism. More recent research supports that a combination of both whey and casein is superior. I specifically picked the 2 brands I did (Premier Protein and Fairlife), because they were both milk protein instead of just whey.

I don't know if this will work, but I'm going to try and post some links to research that supports this view:

I love when people post research!

Have you looked at Orgain Clean Protein shakes (not the powder)? It doesn't specify what kind of protein, just grass-fed milk protein concentrate, do you think that mean it has casein too?

Hey everyone…I’m looking for a few September Surgery Buddies. I don’t know how to respond on someones post….my Date is September 14, 2022…

Yes, any milk protein will have both. The problem is they generally don't give the percentage of each. There is research out there that different percentages of casein vs. whey can have different effects, but at this point, we're probably only talking about differences to elite athletes.

I don’t have a quote button… I have to touch the post and hold until one comes up. Which is why it took me so dang long to catch on?

Hi everyone, I’m new here too and I’m scheduled for same day, 12th September!!

Ah, you must be using a mobile device. I assumed incorrectly you were on a PC. Glad you figured it out!

We have so many Sept 12 people!!!

I’m on Day 7 of preop Liquid Diet. I have 7 more to go before surgery. Surgery is Sept 1st. It’s been challenging that’s for sure. But I’m praying and pushing thru.

What has been your biggest struggle so far??

Getting down there Broth Soups and finding another shake that I like besides chocolate peanut butter. Because it’s beginning to not taste good anymore.??‍♀️
