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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
