A break from Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

Just thought I would pass on what helped me stay SANE during the PRE-OP and I also have some of this in POST-OP. Of course, consult your doctor to make sure it is OK for you and your plan. My doctor had me on a liquid diet 800 calories or less. The mainstay of my diet is fat free cottage cheese - a powerhouse of low calories & Protein. Fat free Greek yogurt is another one of my main staples. I also love a yogurt drink called Keefer from Publix that I can have a few sips if I don't have time to eat and it fills me up for few hrs.

Lasagna - fat free cottage cheese, spaghetti sauce, small amount of Parmesan cheese

Mexican - fat free cottage cheeses, salsa or nacho cheese

Spicy Yogurt - fat free Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, red pepper (or Toni's seasoning)

Rice pudding - fat free cottage cheese, Truvia sweetner, cinnamon

Tomato or other Soup w/melted cottage cheese for more protein

Diet protein Soups

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
