I know I'm not post-op yet, but I've been trying to go high Protein for a while now, and one of my fave ways to get some extra in in the morning is an omelette made with 4 large egg whites and about 1/2 of a yolk. I add 1/4 cup of fat-free shredded cheddar to it too. 25g of Protein and very satisfying.

I like the Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Protein in the vanilla Ice Cream flavor, mixed with 1 cup of Soy Slender vanilla flavor soymilk. I also tend to add in about a tablespoon of Benefiber. This powder's not bad just mixed with Water, but it's really pretty creamy and tasty when mixed with the Soy Slender. 30g of protein total. :thumbup:

The last several weeks of doing this whole low-carb/high-protein thing haven't been easy, but I feel very prepared for post-op dieting. And, it's been awesome for my pre-surgery weight loss. I haven't weighed since my last appointment on April 7, but I'm pretty sure I've dropped close to another 10 since then (the weight on my ticker). :thumbup:

Walmart has a Protein Powder that has 52 gram of Protein in one shake (double scoop). I usually have one of those for Breakfast and then i don't really have to worry about my protein intake for the rest of the day. I average around 80-95 grams a day.

I had my two-week post-surgery appointment yesterday and was approved to move on to soft foods. Being a vegetarian, Protein is really important for me. They had a great idea--put a scoop or two of unflavored protein (I like Unjury a lot) in a shaker jar (like the kind they use for powdered sugar or parm cheese at a pizza place) and just sprinkle the protein on everything you eat throughout the day. Make a point to finish the shaker by the end of the day, and you've added 20 or 40 g of protein without doing anything else. When you shake it on like that, you really can't taste it or notice it at all...that, or I'm just so happy to have soft food again that I don't care!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
