protein suppliment besides shake and protein bars?



Recommended Posts

I am having some trouble getting all my Protein in. Is anyone using a protein pill or suppliment that isn't a shake or bar just protein without any food with it?

Uh..there's no such thing as a Protein pill. Protein comes from food..maybe try Protein Shots. Dunno. Why wouldn't you just eat lean meats, eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc?

I used this while on my pre op diet... It's creamy chicken Soup from herbalife. 80 calories & 16 grams of protein. not a bad price either:

There are some Protein supplements in liquid that you can get sufficient amount of Protein from, the protein tabs that are available don't offer much protein, you'd be better off eating a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I love my fat free prairie farms cottage cheese, it's 80 calories and 14g of protein. I'm not allowed any dairy except cottage cheese due to the high protein content. String cheese or cheese cubes are also a good option. I buy most of my supplements from Bariatric Choice and they do have a Liquid Protein supplement you could look into...They also have others, this was just the first one that popped up. It also was the only one with 5 stars saying it did taste pretty good.

You could also look into Protein Shots, but I think they taste pretty nasty.

Try getting some flavorless Protein Powder (GNC has a good one) and mixing it in with your food. Also, dietdirect.com has a lot of high Protein Snacks that aren't very filling (puddings, Soups, and even pretzels).

Try refried Beans. They are very high in Protein and go down pretty easily even when your band is a little tight.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
