Re: can drinking to much water or crystal light stretch your pouch?

[Guest guest]

Amy,

If you cant drink a whole protein shake I'd only make half the size. Once

the shake is made it looses it's protein after 20 minutes or so. It's like

it desolves and we can't absorb it. Kinda funky and since they aren't

necessarily the yummiest things in the world, why drink them if they aren't

giving you protein? Ya know? Make the size that works for you and later if

you want more make another one. : ) Hope that helped!

can drinking to much water or crystal light

stretch your pouch?

I'll drink the other half Amy! lol I plan on adding protein

powder to EVERYTHING so whatever I'm eating or drinking I'm getting

SOME protein. I've been sampling whey protein and such that is

neutral and very soluble. When I think I'll be post op 48 hours

from now I get a little freaked out still.

Hi..Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents..My nutritionist told me that there

was no scientific fact to back up that a protein mix loses any of it's

strength no matter if it's mixed a 1/2 hour or 24 hours or even longer. She

said there hasn't been any studies to prove a protein shake is no good after

20 mins. She told me I could mix up a gallon or a half gallon and just keep

it closed tight and in the fridge..Who knows???lol I also have to do clear

liquids for 2 days prior to surgery. Not much longer now..

Thank you, I was getting a bit 'wierded out' about the protein loss

thing myself and couldn't anything at all on that. I'm glad

somebody brought that up so I could get a clear response. Thank you

again...

I know who probably thought that up. Probably some very smart

protein supplement marketing manager somewhere...

I believe that protein shakes lose their effectiveness after 30

minutes I believe it is. I think the protein begins to break down

after that. At least that is what I have read. Maybe make 1/2 the

shake at a time?

i also read that before but it was 30 minutes and we were then told by some

research thing that it was not true so you have to make the decision on which to

believe, now on the water and Crystal light thing i would believe that the

liquid would not stay in the pouch to long and if you are sipping on and off all

day i don't see how you could stretch it out , now food might be a different

thing , do nothing that makes you feel to full and you will be OK

Hi Amy,

You can learn a lot about water loading and other ways to use your

pouch effectively by going into the " Files " section (see left hand

column) and look down the list for " Pouch Rules for Dummies " .
