what are some easy ways of getting protein in



Recommended Posts

So add a little not the whole scoop? I been adding a whole scoop & it makes everything watery not good 2 me

Added to suit your taste. I usually add a half scoop to yogurt or cottage cheese, but you may find a different amount works better for you. Remember, any extra will help, especially if you can add that little bit several times a day.

If you are allowed coffee, you can add half a scoop of Protein powder into an 8 ounce cup of coffee. It's DELISH!

Also one of my favorite things is cottage cheese/jello mousse

puree a cup of cottage cheese in a blender to get out the bumps. Make sugar free Jello (I use 1/2 cup boiling Water and 1.5 cups cold Water it works just fine) pour liquid Jello in blender with the cottage cheese.. blend on high.. A bit of unflavored Protein Powder can be added as well for an extra boost.. It's a nice dessert.

These are all fantastic ideas. I just wanted to share something with everyone that I experienced tonight.

So there was Protein in unexpected places...

Hubby took me out on a date tonight. We went out for Thai food. I don't know of any good Thai places in SD but we chose one and we ordered the seafood Tom Yum Soup. I have had this before and it is delicious. I had some broth and he had the full Soup. It was all good until I was almost done with my cup and noticed all sorts of things floating around in it. Ground chili's, oil, fish remnants from the stock, and wait... what is this I see?? a bug. OMG.. a bug... ew. It looked like a roach. I felt ill immediately. Hubby was trying to calm me down so I wouldn't puke. Thankfully I didn't. But he did....LOL

Does anyone think this is a coincidence when this is on our news? http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/health/UN-Wants-You-to-Eat-More-Bugs-207277711.html

      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.
