What are you guys eating for protein?



Recommended Posts

I have a hard time with most Proteins also. I do eat alot of tuna however I have to blend it down a bit almost like a pate'. I get most of my Protein from protein bullets (42 gms, 0 carbs, 0 fats) one little drink. You can order them online.

I eat Oh Yeah bars as they are softer but very yummy. I am also on a Protein diet. Things that really work for me:

String cheese

Canned chicken

No sugar pudding with Protein powder

Greek yogart

Beef Jerky in small bites & well chewed

Taco beef with guac & salsa

Use fat free salad dressings & broth to moisten you meats

Cheers,

Kristi

Had my band 2 years ago...i had no luck with any of the Protein supplements mentioned. Most of them such as muscle milk, prograde and unjury can cause you to gain weight and they contain products in them that really aren't good for you. I have found that ViSalus is the best Protein on the market. it has both whey and soy protein. so you have extended use of the protein. the soy protein is non gmo soy (not genetically modified) so people who are allergic or cant take soy because of estrogen based cancers can use this product. I researched it and talked to several different bariatric surgeons and nutritionists who recommend it highly.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
