Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Hi Pam, I actually just bought one (1) MetRx bar last night...to try. I got the extreme vanilla. And actually, the flavor of it was pretty good...but it was the texture that I had a problem with. I'm not quite sure, but I'd compare it to a bar made out of pressed sawdust flavored with vanilla, tastes great, but more than just a bit dry and chalky. If you can handle the texture thing and you like vanilla, you might try that one. hehehe > Re: protein suppliments > > Sue, > > I'm still a post-op, but I recently bought two of the Met-RX bars, and > they > were absolutely HORRIBLE!!!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Hi , PRESSED SAWDUST!! SOUNDS SIMPLY DELICIOUS!!! HA! HA! HA!! But seriously, thanks for the info. Maybe I'll try the vanilla flavor this time. I tried both the chocolate chip cookie dough and the brownie, and they were horrible. OKay, I'll try the vanilla, but if it's terrible, I'm holding you responsible!!!!! LOL!!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Pam, I will take full responsibility if it's terrible! hahaha Actually....just make sure you have some water to wash it down with, and it should be fine. Like I said, it's not WONDERFUL....and I certainly wouldn't say that it's my most favorite thing in the world, but it wasn't too bad. It does have a nice flavor once you get past the texture thing....or at least I think so. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :-) M Palmer (Phone) (Fax) kpalmer@... > Re: protein supplements > > Hi , > > PRESSED SAWDUST!! SOUNDS SIMPLY DELICIOUS!!! HA! HA! HA!!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Looks like I now know what my new occupation is going to be. I will need to develop a protein supplement that is low calorie and tastes as good as something from the Diary Queen! Well....my only question would be how much are you willing to pay for such a wonderful thing?? As far as I can tell, it would be worth it's weight in gold! hahaha :-) M Palmer (Phone) (Fax) kpalmer@... > Re: protein supplements > > , > > ALRIGHT!!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Wow Ellen, You drive a hard bargain. I guess I'll get started tonight on it! Perhaps I should consult with Wily Wonka and see if he has any suggestions.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 If I were a rich woman, I wouldn't even bother with the DS surgery. Instead, I would just pay to have my brain transplanted into the body of some gorgeous super model and go from there! hahahaha Re: protein supplements > > , > > If you can make them taste like a Blizzard, then I'll pay top dollar!! > LOL!! > You're right, you know - if you came up with such a thing, you'd be a > VERY > rich woman!!!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Got this idea from a thread a few days ago... Why not design some simple, high protein, tasteless capsules that will dissolve in water within 10 minutes or so? Small enough to swallow easily yet potent enough so we don't have to pop, like, a dozen in one shot. I did a quick search online and there doesn't seem to be much available; at least not that advertise the number of grams of protein they contain per capsule. Anyone know of any good protein capsules out there? Terri Hassiak BMI 60 http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=H980366398 Appealed " Out-of-Network " Ins.

I really feel the difference if I vary on either of these. I changed doctors recently and when my CBC came back he was amazed. They were better than he thought they would be. Also, my bone density came back and he said it was like a 40 year old's! Yee hah! Anyway I will do what I need to do for ME! My new doc has never had a WLS patient before so he is reading and asking lots of questions of me and surgeons. (???) He says he will probably have many more WLS patients in the future and he wants to be ready! This is going to be a ride! What an opportunity!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 I am not an expert on protein and protein supplements. I also had the SRVG so malabsorption is not really an issue for me. So the only thing I can draw from is my knowledge of my own body. I know that I function best on about 50 to 65 mg of protein a day. There are days especially during my monthly cycle that I cannot eat my needed protein. It seems nothing but liquids and pureed stuff stays down. Consequently on those days, I need to take my protein in protein supplements. Each of us is different even among the same surgery. So for me to tell someone that they need more than the RDA requires is not my job. I do recommend at least 50 mg of protein a day. Anything over that is up to you and your body not me and my opinion.
