Question:
PLEASE HELP ME....

This is probably the most embarrasing thing I have ever done in my life, but here goes. My lab work came back bad, and it is because my protein level is real low. My Dr. ask me and I told him I eat just protein, but I don't have the money now to buy protein to help me get in enough. I have been exspecting a check this whole month to come in, and found out yesterday, that now it is going to be late April or in May. I told my Dr. that I didn't know what to do, and he said for me to ask for help. I have no one to ask, so I have been besides myself as what to do. I am getting sicker everyday, and I am so tired, I can barely move. They say it is because I need protein. So I am asking, can anyone please help me with some protein? Maybe one day, I can pay you back. PLEASE, I dont care what flavor, as long as it is protein. My address is P O BOX 158 Trenton, Ga. 30752 I AM SO SORRY FOR ASKING FOR HELP......    — daizi55 (posted on March 20, 2009)

I think it is very smart of you to have asked for help. I will see what I have in my cupboard. I live in OR so it will take some time to get to you. Some grocery stores sell tasteless protien in the bulk food section that is not expensive. Also protien bars are an option. You might want to check there. It can be added to pretty much anything, soup, cottage cheese, oatmaeal etc. Get that protien in or your hair will fall out.

Debi, you should never apologize for asking for help. We all need it from time to time! And besides, you're asking for protein, not money! I'm sure there are A LOT of people here who have protein mixes, bars, etc. sitting in their cupboards that they are never going to use because they don't like it ... There's no reason they couldn't pass it along to you. Please don't be embarrassed to ask for help - it's better than suffering and getting sicker!

I have several protein items that I would be willing to share with you. We're all here to help one another and most everyone can give a little. It all adds up, so don't think what little bit you can send won't matter.

Hi Debi, I am pre-op and bought a lot of protein shakes and bars for my surgery. I can send what I have to you and repurchase when I am closer to my surgery date. Hope this helps you out some. I will send you a message when I mail the items.

I will see what I have my fiancee is 3 1/2 months post op and I am 4 days post op both RNY we both have been instilled in how much protein you need with our pre-op program and since tony's surgery. I also have some people I work with that have had the surgery. I will send all I can gather up, it might not be alot but it should help. Please don't be embarrased we can all do something little like cleaning out our food pantry and make a huge difference in someones life and one day you will be able to help someone. you have already helped me. Pay it foward is a great way to live your life. May God bless you I will keep you in my prayers.

Debi, I was told that I need 100 - 120 Grams of Protein a day. My Dr. says that I need protein to burn off fat, and that the week I was on a plateu was when my body was changing shape, like from fat to muscle. I take supplements to get enough protein. I take two tablets of Ultra 40 three times a day. I haven't lost my hair or suffered from other "low protein" effects or loss of my energy, and I had my surgery last November. Protein drinks have way too many carbs for me, as one drink has my entire daily limit!! My pouch is so small, that I need to eat protein first, then veggies, then carbs (anything white!!) if I am still hungry. I do NOT count calories, nor fat grams. I only count my carbs, 30 Gms a day, and all the veggies (free)I want for fiber. My weight loss is 3 pounds a week, until my short plateu. I am back to losing again, and have not had a fill since February. Basically I can eat all the meat, eggs, cheese and veggies I want. Boiled shrimp has no carbs, Brats have only 1 carb, other meats are very low in carbs, cottage cheese has low carbs, and veggies are free. Don't feel embaressed for sorry for posting. This forum is here for our benefit, and I know these posts have helped me alot. Sam(f) Haddock

Help is on the way from Nebraska as well. We ARE A FAMILY and families help out in time of crisis. You will probably have more protein, in your house real soon, than you will know what to do with. I am sending you some protein bars, Nectar, and Unjury. You do not need to pay me back for anything that I send to you. We are a family and families don't always need to be paid back. It is my good deed for the day for a fellow overeater.

I sent you a private message. Answer when you can. I have a couple things I can send with the thing in the private message. Just let me know. I can mail Monday. Don't ever be embarrased. Just pay it forward. One day it could be one of us asking for help.

I have an almost new container of vanilla protein powder. I am unable to use it now, so I will send it to you tomorrow. I live in West Tennessee so I don't know how long it will take but I will get it in the mail tomorrow. Hope this helps.
