4 months protein question.



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 months in a few days. Are any of you at this point still drinking the Protein Shakes? Should I continue taking my 60 grams of Protein a day or stop and start eating more?. I still don't eat that much.

I am 11 months post surgery and still have a Protein shake or fortified greek yogurt almost every day. I am not a huge fan of meat and I am allergic to soy, so I need the whey Protein from the shakes to ensure I get my 60 grams each day.

I was 4 months on April 3rd & I love Protein shakes!!! I either drink a GNC Total Lean or make my own with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein, almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, & frozen berries. I work 2 jobs so I need the convenience. And they taste great to me!!

I plan on drinking Protein shakes for a long, long time. My doctor says he would like the majority of my calories & protein to come from "real food" but it's a lot easier to drink my protein then sit down and eat chicken or fish sometimes.

Whatever works for you that keeps the protein going in & is healthy!!

Good luck!

I feel the same way as all of you. I enjoy my Syntrax Protein. The first months it was hell finding a protein I liked Into I had syntrax I was so happy. Yes it's easier and for sure I know I'm getting my daily protein with my shakes. My nut also wants me to get my protein from food but sometimes I get off at 6:30 from work and I have my workout class at 8:00 so I feel rushed rushed so a shake is always great.

      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.
