I had my surgery in July and I am down 93lbs!!! WOOHOO!!! The problem I have had from the beginning is protein intake. The bars and shakes all make me nauseated. I have heard some stuff about pills with high protein supplement. Anyone heard of this or take any of these supplements. The reason I am getting worried so much now is I can see that I am starting to loose my hair a little bit and it is freaking me out!! Thanks guys!!

I am going to have my surgery either on April 30th or May 7th and the other day I won the door prize of some samples from one of the support groups I went to and one of the things that was in it was Proteinex Tablets that you take two three times a day which has all the essential amino acids in a 100% utilizable form, which is rapidly absorbed, providing a positive nitrogen balance. It also says this product contains a significant source of nine essential amono acids derived from hydrolyzed collagen protein and free amino acids. I haven't dried them but I am going to call and see how much they cost. I have taken the Proteinex liquid you take like cough medicine you take two tablespoons for 15 grams of protein each time you take it. Good luck with it let me know how it works and congratulations on losing 93 lbs.

Thank you Sabrina for your response!!! Do you know if the tablets each contain 15 grams of protein also? Again thank you so much!! Good Luck on your surgery!! Mine was the best decision I ever made for myself.

yes I went to Proteinex.com and it said the liquid and the tablets both have 15 grams of Hydrolyzed protein per serving. The liquid has a cherry and vanilla flavoring together its ok but if I can take it in a tablet form I would be happier to take it that way. Where in Louisiana are you? I live in Abita Springs which is about thirty miles north of New Orleans,

Honestly, I have not been to a support meeting in a very long time. I used to go the one at Southern Surgical though. I am currently working in Las Vegas on and off on nursing contracts so usually not in the area.
