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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
