June Post Ops!

I thought I would share how I made my oatmeal this morning. I used a half of a Vanilla Protein Shake instead of milk and then added some cinnamon. It is pretty tasty. I still don't think I will be able to finish all of it, but for today.... it tastes good!

I am with all of you! Getting enough Protein seems impossible. I tried today to really get my minimum of 70g and I felt full and sick all day. I feel like to get enough protein I have to constantly eat something or drink a shake and that makes me feel awful! And these shakes are really starting to bother me. Tomorrow I am going to do some experimenting to find a decent shake combo.

P.S I didn't make it to my minimum! Ugh!!!

All week I have only gotten 30g they tell me women should shoot for 60g but I feel like its impossible. They also told me to try increasing it slowly like add 5g extra each day but that it will take a few weeks to comfortably eat 60g of protein.

I understand. I have big hopes each morning, and then I can only eat a 1/4 of a serving of my oatmeal. It is really frustrating.

I'm the same way with oatmeal. Freaks me out how much of some things I can eat tho. I can do a Protein smoothie or a container of yogurt no problem. My NUT said its because they're a semi liquid and kind of just go right thru. Still weirds me out.

I understand so far today I have ate a bite of oatmeal and some chicken broth. Trying to eat high Protein foods but I can only eat a few bites so I only get 1g of Protein in and the shakes I can barely get one sip before it fills me up

I found some cheez its in my cabinet. They have 3 grams of protein for 14. I ate them with some laughing cow cheese spread on them. I am happy to be at about 15 grams of protein today.

I've been having a very hard time getting in 64 oz of Fluid & all my Protein. For the past 3 days I take one New Whey protein liquid "shot". I hate drinking it but its 42g of protein & only 3.8 oz to drink.
