I always start my day with either a Premier Protein shake (30g protein) or a Syntrax nectar chocolate truffle shake made with unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp PB2 and 1 tbsp powdered egg whites (37g protein). At some point in the day, I have either 1/2C plain, Greek, no fat Chobani yogurt (18g protein) or 1/2C 1% skim cottage cheese (11g protein). I drink one bottle of coconut Isopure every afternoon (40g protein). If I'm in and out of meetings and can't get to the Isopure, my "go to" is unjury chicken broth (21g protein) or 1 whole egg scrambled with 1 egg white (17g protein).

Some days, I'll eat 1/2 Quest bar. Have you tried those? They come in a variety of flavors. While they appear to be high in carbs, they're actually high Fiber (17-19g), generating only 3-5 net carbs. One whole bar is at least 20g Protein.< /p>

OP, couldn't stomach Protein shakes either and have got to 5 months post op without them.

Fortified milk was a life saver (skimmed milk powder added to milk). At the liquid stage, I drank it, mixed it half and half with my Soup ( I lived on cream of tomato!) and so on. Kept using it through puréed stage and on to soft foods.

I was determined to get my Protein through food. It's easier to hit ur daily protein targets with the shakes but not impossible without them. Imagination and good quality protein will get u there :-)))

Hang in, this phase will pass...

premier ready to drink shakes have been the only Protein i have been able to drink save for Isopure and i'm almost three weeks out. i can also sometimes stomach the body fortress chocolate Peanut Butter when i'm REALLY craving something sweet. but i love the premier shakes. they go down easy and are small, and still have 30g of protein!

Thank you' date=' thank you for the ideas!!

I am 4 1/2 weeks out and can definitely do powdered milk in my milk! I NEVER would have thought of that! Excellent! I do eat eggs, cheese, meat. I honestly cannot tolerate any Protein Drinks and the Protein Bars are all too sweet AND loaded with carbs! I'm not a carb fanatic but 40 grams in One Bar OMG! Not happening.[/quote']

I can't do the Protein Shakes with milk or anything else at all the only way I've been able to get my Protein in is through smoothies I make a fruit smoothie and add the Protein I hardly notice it much. Hope this helps

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
