Protein Frustration

[Lynn73 46]

Does anyone out there have advice on how to get your Protein in? I have tried multiple protein powders and pre-made Protein Drinks I don't like them. I gag at their smell and taste. I have added fruit Peanut Butter and even coco nothing works. I don't like yogurt either. Feeling frustrated

My go to list:

Greek yogurt

Mini babybel

Shrimp/fish

Edamame

Beef/turkey Jerky

I only drink premier Protein shakes. (Sams/Costco) everything else makes me gag.

My goal is 60g per day. So I guess this would depend on your goal and how far out you are.

Try egg whites. You just add then to your drinks and they add no flavor just Protein. Make sure you get the double pasteurized not the ones from the grocery store.

I am actually waiting on my surgery date so I started trying Protein Shakes now do I would have an idea of what I liked. I am afraid when I have surgery I won't be able to get it in during my liquid and full liquid stage. I have tried some Protein Water and it is ok it has 10 grams of protein per 12 oz of water. When I think of 60-80 grams that is overwhelming

There's a chocolate Muscle Milk Protein Drink. It's thick and I think it tastes so good...almost like Choc milk.

Premier Protein 11oz - 30g

Dannon light & fit greek - 12g

Babybel or string cheese - 6g

1.25 oz beef Jerky - 14g

That is 62 grams... If I have a piece of fish for dinner I'm well over 60 grams.

Maybe cottage cheese instead of yogurt?

I am not sure how to you could get protein in during the liquid phase without using Protein Shakes. You really need to try one that you can handle for a few weeks.

Have you tried the Syntrax Metrix or Nectars? They have no Protein tast and are so good! Check them out on www.bariatricadvantage.com. You can order samples there to try before ordering a big container.

Do keep in mind that usually your taste buds change. Also the egg white I suggested can be added to any liquid. I use mine in Powerade. 10 pumps is 33 grams of protein.

Yu can try Unjury - look at their website - they have chicken flavor that's great for Soup after surgery. I use Body Fortress and mix with Water.< /p>
