I'm struggling to get all my protein



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 2/7. I've been cleared for soft foods (moist fish, chicken, etc) and can start adding in anything I can tolerate (except tough meats) on Friday. I'm eating well. My Nut and Dr. Have me on high Protein, low carbs. They both say to continue with Protein shakes for a while with my foods to get in 70-80 grams a day. I was doing fine with shakes, but the past few days it takes everything in me to get them down. I thought it might be the milk, but I've tried the syntax nectar lemonade today and I can't get past the smell.

Any helpful hints? I've tried adding Peanut Butter, for anti syrups, PB2, etc, but then the shakes are thick or too sweet.

I would suggest getting some Unjury unflavored Protein Powder.< /p>

I have been drinking the New Whey Liquid Protein. its 3.4 oz and has 42g of Protein in it. You drink it in a couple of sips. Good flavors also. I buy mine off of Amazon but i think you can get it anywhere.

I use the GNC Pro Performance whey Protein to fortify Greek Yogurt. You can also eat the canned corned beef hash if you chew it really well. It has a ton of sodium, but is a different flavor profile for when you get really tired of your usual foods. I have found that the boredom with the food comes and goes, so just switch things up a bit and you can probably go back to the shakes in a day or two.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
