Need Protein Recommendations



Recommended Posts

Saw my doctor today, 2 weeks post op. they show an eleven pound weight loss from their scales. Anyway, he wants me getting in more Protein. I have been drinking EAS low carb but I'm barely choking down 17g with it once a day. Need recommendations please. He wants me to get in 60 g a day. Yikes!

Are you on pureed yet? I am 3 weeks out today and have an Isopure shake with 4 oz skim milk and 4 oz of Water for Breakfast every day. I add a sugar free Torani Syrup or some powdered Peanut Butter and it is almost 30 Proteins. (25 for 1 scoop of Isopure and 4 for the skim milk. ) I have egg whites for breakfast and purée chicken or turkey for dinner. It allows me to get my Protein in. Water....that's another story...can't seem to get that in. Their are some really yummy Protein Shake recipes on the egg face website. Good luck.

I am on puréed. Thanks for the reminder of egg face blog. I am worried that it is milk making the shakes yucky for me.

Pure Protein powder is 25gm per serving. If you use 8oz of Skim plus it adds 11 more grams. I've found the chocolate is delicious. Sometimes I add some PB2 for a chocolate Peanut Butter shake.

Good Luck!!

I have found that I can tolerate my shakes now for one reason...I make them with egg whites instead of Water or milk. I just like them better. I do not just crack eggs into the blender...I buy egg whites that are pasteurized so there's no salmonella issues. And they don't taste like anything but they make the shakes so smooth, no sliminess and the Protein dissolves into the whites so nicely. It's just my little trick.

      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.
