TwinsMama 483 Posted July 29, 2013 The most I'm able to get is 48g. I know that's why my weightloss is slllllooooowwww. But I can't do any Protein Drinks (they all make me sick). So I have to do food which at 7 weeks is beyond tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KatInFL 216 Posted July 29, 2013 How many grams of Protein are you guys getting in per day? I'm 4 months post-op. I recently upped my Protein intake and my goal is 90 g of protein and around 750 calories a day. I struggle to get that many calories in, so on the days I go over, I don't worry about it. I try to concentrate on my protein intake. ~Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beach Lover 1,084 Posted July 29, 2013 I bought the Premier Protein shakes at SAMs today. Im hoping they work. They are excellent and my go to for Protein to this day. I still can't quite get all my protein in so I am still drinking them. They are the only ones I can tolerate at this point. Every once in a while I will have a Matrix mint cookie Protein Drink but not very often. Definitely like the chocolate more than the vanilla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marfar7 1,533 Posted July 29, 2013 I'm sposed to aim for about 80. Right now I drink a total of 16 oz of Syntrax nectar a day (23gms+9gms for the milk for each 8 oz) - so I guess thats 64 gms. I can drink about 5 oz at a time now (was sposed to drink 3oz every waking hour, but can drink more now). Still on full liquids so the Protein drinks are where I get 100% of my Protein. I have the unflavored powder, but I've only tried it once (in a glass of ice tea) and it was icky. Think I might've wasted $35 on it. Wasn't tasteless Oh, and I'm 2 weeks out. So I don't think 64 is all that bad 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted July 29, 2013 I get in at least 60 and that's been my goal since immediately post-op. My Protein levels are good at every checkup (just annual now). I know many programs require more. Early out I needed two Protein drinks per day to get to goal. Now I get it all from food.

melissa130 135 Posted July 29, 2013 Greek yogurt packs in quite a bit of Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beach Lover 1,084 Posted July 29, 2013 Let us know how they work. This is the only one I haven't tried. They are the best I have tried so far and I have tried a lot of them. I drink 2 a day still and each is 30g, 160 calories and very very low sugar. The chocolate is the best!! You can buy them at Sam's and costco. Give em a try! 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
