Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Dear , Another site I'm on (graduates, where you've had surgery at least a year ago in order to post there, and a lot of them are very far out), recommends the protein shakes -- 4-5 per day for 4 days. They call it the " protein feast " because it breaks all cravings and plateaus and your energy soars through the roof, but I would imagine that straight protein (in the foods that you mentioned) should work just as well... Let me know how you do, okay? live each day like it's your last... love like you've never been hurt...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi, Maybe you guys can answer this for me. Randy is "spilling protien", however his A1C is fine, did this happen to any of you? UCLA says he will need 100 grams of protien post op, wow, if he is spilling now, what will happen than? Does this change post op ? I'll ask at the meeting Thursday, but I was wondering now.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Have you asked your doctor? Either ask his primary care doctor or the surgeon. The only thing I could guess is that maybe he's consuming a form of protein that he can't absorb as well. I really don't know.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 So then you have your three meals, primarily from protein, and in the two ounce portion (or, since you've been out longer, 4 to 6 oz portions), and in addition, you have a shake each day?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Robynn, Well, this is typically what I do on a daily basis: ~ 30 gm Protein shake (Pro Complex) 1/2 c. egg beaters with 1 T shredded cheese ~ 30 gm Protein Shake (Pro Complex) 1/4 c refried beans with 1 T shredded cheese in a low carb tortilla 1 bottle IsoPure Zero carb Drink (~40 gm Protein) 2 oz shrimp or grilled chicken with cocktail or BBQ sauce I tend to do better if I follow the same thing for awhile and then change to something else.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks. So, you basically eat six times a day? Where did you have your surgery? Richmond is really strict on the three times a day only, no snacks...and yet, that is so different from what most nutritionists suggest...it is a bit confusing to me.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks. So, you basically eat six times a day? Where did you have your surgery? Richmond is really strict on the three times a day only, no snacks...and yet, that is so different from what most nutritionists suggest...it is a bit confusing to me.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Robynn, I eat 3 times a day with 3 shakes. I don't eat anything for snacks. I consume less than 900 calories a day (that includes the protein drinks) and about 130 gm protein (100 of which comes from the protein drinks). I have had very successful weight loss so far. 100 pounds (basically) in 6 months! This is what works for me! I had my surgery at Pacific Bariatrics in San Diego. They recommend the Pro- Complex, I added in the Iso Pure Zero Carb drink (only 90 cals for 40 gm pro). Tastes like Crystal Lite. I don't mean to confuse you -sorry.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Oh, I didn't mean that You confused me...I meant that the advice from Richmond, which seems to contradict current thinking about small meals six times a day, confused me.
