Protein Vitamins

Is there any such thing as Protein Vitamins.  I have been reading on this post about the importance of vitamins. i am well aware of that i have been getting in my protein shakes 2/day (premier) and all my vitamins  biotin  b12  vitamin D/ calcium anti aging multi vitamins  My nutritionist said i  might be overdoing it i will know when my blood work results gets back should be back already but i have my PC appointment on Thursday ...  Tentative date for surgery still March 1 (if my doc sends out the correct complete information)  so i have been searching the web site regarding vitamins and protein and your water post op is the most important so that is why i am pre loading on the protein shake (premier) i love them and one container is 30 grams of protein.  my question is do they have protein pills or patches  if not you heard it hear first i think that would be a great invention since it is very important especially post op..  i already search the forum nothing comes up about my question.....thanks in advanced

I didn't do a search of the forum or even the web, but I think it would be exceedingly unlikely that they could do a protein patch.

They do have protein gummies, which are kind of like protein pills? But they don't have vast amounts of protein in them, despite them having vast amounts of terrible taste :) At least the ones I tried were atrocious.

If you're worried about getting enough protein after your surgery, maybe consider getting some Unflavored protein(like Unjury) and putting in water with Crystal Light? Then you'll be getting protein even when you're just drinking between 'meals'.

Note: I haven't had surgery yet. I'm still at the waiting for approval from insurance stage. Good luck with your March 1! :)

I did find a protein pill once.  They were about $30 for 100 and I would have needed 30 a day. 

I wouldn't load up on protein before surgery.  Your taste might change a lot and what you loved before surgery, you might hate after.  Get sample packs of different protein powders so you can try them out after surgery to find one you like.  That way you won't be stuck with a case of RTD protein or a tub of expensive powder that you won't use.

What I found very helpful getting extra protein in was an unflavored protein powder Genepro by Musclegen Research.  I added it to refried beans, creamed spinach, soups  and I know folks here have added it to their coffee.  You can compare pricing online for it.  It packs a lot of protein grams in just 1 tablespoon. Depending on my protein numbers I sometimes just used a teaspoon at a time.

Thanks everyone for the help I'm generally a compulsive. Hypochondriac. Lol. My blood work this week might come out over the top my nutritionit said I might even over do it she used another term but I can't remember now lol. I think I will purchase the injury unflavored and the injury chicken noodle soup my cousin said wS delicious when she had her Rny 13 years ago. Ok thank u guys. ...

Genepro is a scam. They claim that it is "equivalent" to a high serving of protein because it is ultra absorbable, and other bull. There is just no way that they can pack that much protein into one tablespoon for so few calories. Blame the government for not regulating supplements closely.

People love Genepro because it mixes so easily. Well, it mixes easily because there is a lot less actual protein in it. Stick with a good quality 100% whey protein isolate.

Shortcuts never work.
