I add 3 scoops of Beneprotein Protein powder to my chocolate HMR Protein Shakes (made with 8 oz. of skim milk) for 23 grams of Protein per 1/2 C. serving. I have two shakes per day.

I also eat low-fat small curd cottage cheese for 10 grams of protein. I eat cottage cheese twice a day.

Consuming the shakes and cottage cheese gives me 66 grams of protein. Not bad.

I bought my Designer Whey Unflavored Protein powder at Vitamin Shoppe. They have a small can or a large tub.

I haven't added it to plain Water to see if there's actually no taste. There's 2g of sugar so I'm sure there's some taste but it's not enough to notice if you put it in food.< /p>

Thanks! Going to a support group today since I was sleeved in Houston and Live in Austin trying to find a support group here. Heading to Vitamin Shoppe. My surgeon is a vegan so he really tries to get us off the protien drinks. Like I am eating garbonso Beans and kidney beans with some cucumber. But have not figure out how eating like that I can get all the protien in . Thanks for all of your inputs. If you are comin g up with any new food concoctions please post!

I eat shrimp, chicken, PB2, cottage cheese, edamame (tons of protein), kashi go lean, string cheese, soy milk (lattes), turkey, hummus, and greek yogurt. I haven't had a Protein Shake since 2 weeks out and I am never looking back. So done with that stuff.

I eat eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, chicken, beef, veggie burgers, string cheese, milk, turkey, ham, greek yogurt, hummus. Most Protein Shakes make me really sick, almost like I'm dumping, so I try to avoid those. I've tried the soy and pea shakes and they work well, but they taste terrible.

I am 8 weeks out and can eat almost anything but no pastas, sugar, breads or rice. I eat a lot of salmon, tuna, chicken, pumpkin baked with egg beaters, splenda and spices, green Beans, scrambled eggs with Laughing Cow cheese added, turkey bacon, taco salad made with very fine lean ground round, shredded lettuce, diced Tomato, fat-free cheese and I use 3-4 crumbled Bariatric Choice Protein crisps for the crunchiness. Chili is also one of my "go-to" foods. I am eating 4-5 oz per meal.

      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.
