Not getting enough protein!



Recommended Posts

What a struggle it is for me to get my Protein down. Has anyone tried the Protein Shots. If so what is the best tasting brand and flavor?

I use the New Whey Liquid Protein and they are great, I am just getting tired of the strong drink flavors. I crave just plain water...LOL These have 42 grams of Protein. I like them all except I have not tried the blue raspberry because I hae never liked that flavor of anything. Grape is my favorite thou.....I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

How many ounces are they? Do you mix them with Water? I have heard I can get about a 3 oz shot of Protein.< /p>

You do not have to mix with Water, I do because they are kinds thick. It is 3.8 ozs and you want them cold. I get a glass of ice and mix equal amounts of Protein Drink and water.

HI DJ,

I am by no means an expert on this but some folks on here whose opinions I have grown to trust on such matters have researched these shots,

(just one example)

There are many, many threads on this topic and using quality Protein for our diet. You might want to look around a bit just to make sure you're getting what you need.

I ordered the special k Protein Powder to go in Water bottles. Ordered off Amazon. Love it! 5 g Protein per glass without the heavy shake taste.

      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.
