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.

      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!
