Really need the PROTEIN

[verna2197 23]

Hi all, I am in my 2nd week of the Bariatric Full liquid diet, Stage II and I just don't know what to do. I can't stand the Protein Drinks or the Protein powder. I feel so tired and sluggish all the time. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Protein shots and greek yogurt are about your best alternatives when it gets to that point. Good luck to you...I've been there. If you can't stomach the Protein shot straight, add it to Water and make it into a juice beverage.

This is the time your body is demanding more carbs for energy. Don't give in. Your body isn't used to using it's own storage of fat for movement. It's common and it will go away as soon as your body turns on itself for energy.

This is why it's necessary to consume your Protein. If you don't the body will turn on muscle for energy too. Talk to your doctor and see if you can come off the liquid phase a little sooner. Refried Beans, egg drop Soup and other pureed foods with meat and Beans in them can provide you with the Protein you want.

So sorry you are having such a tough time. I wouldn't last on anything a didn't enjoy either. I have never heard or tried have the Protein drink guys name. Tried a few and tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla. It's good but you get bored. I started adding Int'l

delight coffee Creamer flavors and other things tats my base. They come sugar free, fat free. etc I get the regular. I didn't get fat on that.

and add a 1/4 cup to my shake. I'm 2 Years in and thrilled. Lost 80 lbs. and that's it. Far as I want to go. I am older and do not want the skin falling off my face and neck.

Some before and afters are a little to much. I wanted health, to feel and look good. And be able to move well. I have done that. I even had 2 let outs before the holidays and no weight gain. Starting to eat a little better. Also started juicing to round out nutrients. Feel Fab as a large love me my life my clothes.

I was 30. Good Luck Girls.
