| Whipper Snapper |  Protein water Hi everyone, My friend was drinking a Special K protein water yesterday. I tasted it and it had a good taste. It said it has 5g protein. I don't think it had alot of sugar but since I am preop I am not really sure what constitutes too much sugar. Just wanted to pass along. I saw a case of them at Sams Club the other day for $12 or so. If anyone is familiar is this something we can use to get in protein and fluids post-op? Please advise. Thanks Shondi |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  Just my experience  I didn't know about this product so...I did a little research to actually see how much sugar was in one serving. My doctor's protocol said less than 7g of sugar per meal...(or in this case I'd say intake) The only thing I think of is....I'd have to only have one...I wouldn't drink them back to back. I think it's a interesting idea...any protein intake will help in the "long run" - especially when you get to where I am now. (9mos post op) I'm looking that if I put it in my mouth...it be justified with some sort of protein. I don't put a cracker in my mouth unless it has peanut butter or cheese on it....these days.  I've found this keeps me eating less carbs....and includes the protein. So, I may have to check it out! Thanks for the heads up!

| Super Moderator  | Hmm. 8g sugar per serving. I hope this doesn't trigger your sugar craving. Just a thought here.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | FOR me for my water intake i think i wouldnt waste my carbs and sugar for it. I prefer my water to be a carb free item and with 5 grams of protein i find it not worth my while in boosting my protein as one shake would do for me. SO hard. BUT might work for others not my plan of eating and im being very strict and already seeing results from my efforts.

| Hi Shondi, I tried this product once, and found it to be kind of "thick" tasting.... Haven't had one since. It might be different for you, of course.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Personally I think that is alot of sugar as well for one serving. If you really like it then maybe half a glass wouldnt be so bad at one time. But as Doc said it may trigger wanting more.  LittleLisaMarie

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I tried the lemon one, to me it tasted just like crystal light. I only drank 1/2 a bottle at the gym and the other 1/2 before bed.
