My NUT told me last week that it was better to get Protein from food, but that I would need to ease into it. I can't see how there would have been any other way to do it! I'm still doing a Protein Shake when I first wake up just to make sure I'm set for the day. You're right - you just get too full at first.

How much of the Protein shake are you able to drink in one sitting?

Does it take all day for you to drink 1 shake?

I will start my Protein shakes on this thursday and I was curious

thanks

Uhhhh....yeeeaaahhhhh.... if you can't eat enough to make the Protein goal, then by all means go for the shakes! The Protein is important to keep your strength up and to burn fat and not muscle.

Once you start to eat more regularly and your capacity increases, you will naturally start getting most of your protein from food. It's way too early to expect that from you, however. :/

I am four weeks out and getting any Protein down is a chore and the shakes make me throw up and so does food but I did find this tube Protein Drink that has 50grams in one 3 oz serving that tastes like an old Jello shot better at room temp which gets me closer to my goal. I just hold my nose and get it down anyway I can like medicine. It's called supreme protein shot.

I enjoy EAS CarbAdvantage Protein Shakes. Have you tried those? They are thinner in consistency as have good flavor profiles. They are also convenient and decently priced. I have found them at Target, Kroger, Walgreens, and Walmart.< /p>

I am 6 months out and still not able to reach my Protein goals. NUT said until I reach my protein goals, I can have no other foods. I have a shake for Breakfast (not a breakfast person, so it's that or nothing) 1-2 oz. of lean protein for lunch and dinner. Maybe a snack, if I can, of some fat free plain Greek yogurt. Sometimes I mix 1 C. ff ricotta and 1T of ff/sf pudding powder, with some soy milk, in a blender, tastes like cannoli cream, makes about 4 meals for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
