Question about protein



Recommended Posts

I called a local health food store and they don't carry the Isopure but they do carry LLP. Anyone had this one? I understand that it has 15 grams of Protein per 2 tablespoon serving. Do you just take the 2 tablespoons as if it were liquid vitamins (is it a liquid or a powder? ??) or do you mix it with something? How many servings do you need to take per day? I am trying to get an idea of how many bottles to buy.

How much Protein did your doctor tell you to get in each day?

From what I've read, women on a very low calorie diet should get 70-90 g of Protein a day in order to avoid as much loss of muscle mass as possible. If you do intense exercise, you need more.

As for how to consume it, it's up to you. That concentrated stuff tends to taste awful so I wouldn't buy a lot of it until you are sure you can stomach it. You can take the approach of downing it all at once like medicine or you can put it in things to try to disguise it.

You can buy unflavored Protein mix at GNC if you have one there and mix it with any of the clear drinks.

I have never heard of that other stuff.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
