Two Great Protein Finds



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried Cabot Sharp Extra light cheddar cheese? It's 60 calories and 9 grams of Protein per oz? I think it tastes pretty good, too. I have also started using Special K20 protein Water. It has 30 calories, 5g Protein and 5g Fiber per serving. Both are kind of pricey, but I'm trying to find any way I can to eliminate the 2nd Protein Shake. Thoughts?

Haven't tried the Protein Water, but the Cabot Sharp is DELICIOUS! It doesn't even taste like low fat cheese. The only issue I have is that you don't get much for the price.

So, you're a few days out from your surgery, right? How are things going? :)

Things are going great. Just started puréed yesterday. Putting some chicken salad in the magic bullet as we speak. I go back to work for a 12 hour shift tonight. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for asking. How far out are you? Do you mind sharing your stats?

I'm not due to be sleeved until at least February. Believe me, the date can't come soon enough! :) I'm 260 and would like to lose 100 pounds.

Glad to hear you're doing OK! :D

Yes I have tried both of those and enjoy them both. Also the Cabot also has a extra light pepper jack cheese which is 70 calories and 8 grams of Protein.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
