I go for the Premier Nutrition Protein Shakes at costco, too. Greek yogurt is second and I eat lots of fish. If I eat the fish and have one shake, I usually hit my 65 g of Protein each day, no problem.

If you do go to jamba juice, they can add a protein boost to your smoothie to get the protein in there for you. I have done that on days where I am craving a sweet but want to keep my goals in mind.

I really like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, too. 20g of Protein and only 100 calories. I have the chocolate splendor for Breakfast every morning.

I also eat a lot of tuna- it's loaded in protein.

I have just discovered the Premier Nutrition high Protein Shakes, they are 160 cals and 30 gms of Protein (get them at Costco). I have one a day in the morning because I have a hard time with solids then. of course being a liquid, it doesn't really keep me full. You should try to get the rest of your protein from solids, like chicken, eggs, cheese (sorry, I didn't know if you were a vegetarian; in that case, legumes, tofu)....myfitnesspal is good for tracking, also available free on the blackberry.

I use MUSCLE MILK LIGHT in different flavors.

If I can't drink it down, I'll use 1/2 the amount of Water,

and mix it up in a Dessert dish/cover. Freeze that for a while,

and have a excellent pudding with all the Protein still there.

I too love the Special K shakes. I'm not a huge fan of the chocolate but love the strawberry. Just recently I picked up Protein for Her from Vitamin World. I do a scoop of that, 20 g protein with 8 oz skim/1% milk, mix well then add a special K shake to it to give it better flavor and a bit more body. It tastes great. And Breakfast ends up being 1/2 my protein for the day.

I had a problem the getting the Protein in at first, the shakes were not appealing. I ended up buying the costco vanilla ready to drink ( it has 30g of protein), I blend some strawberries, bananas, blueberries with a Lillie non fat milk, then I pour the two together, tastes delicious! I don't blend the Protein Shake wi the fruit directly as I have found it gets too frothy and makes me feel gassy and bloated.

I have tried a bunch of Protein shakes, I am too tight in the morning to eat bfast so since 2 weeks before being banded I have had a Protein shake every morning. Here is my list in order:

Isopure Vanilla cream with cubes 1.5 scoop and 2 Splenda and I use NF milk

Muscle milk I like the chocolate I buy on the go sometimes at 7-11

Muscle milk vanilla 100 calorie

Premier from Wal Mart

Jay Robb chocolate

I try and mix it up from all the above. For lunch I have Morningstar "chicken" or buffalo wings (fake ones lol) I like chobani high protein and put high protein granola in it too to up my protein and eat it with a weight watchers cheese stick! That's my typical morning and lunch... I'm done with protein before noon. This is my taste and what I have done so it will be different for you but hope it helps give you some ideas. Good luck!

      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.
