enough protein and water?



Recommended Posts

How the hell are we supposed to get in enough Protein and liquids in a day? I am lucky to get 2.5 oz of food in per sitting. And that makes me feel stuffed for hours. I struggle with getting in Water. Not because I don't want it, but because I feel so full. I am five weeks out (April 25th)

I am trying to cut down on shakes but my protein intake has decreased substantially.

Hi Josh first off Congrats 2 you, and don't feel alone i am almost 9 months out and still can't finish one Protein shake a day the first few months were bad i couldn't stand the smell of the shakes i didn't start drinking them again untill almost 5 months out once i was cleared for solid foods at week 7 i then got my protein from meats, egg, cheese, yogurt etc and Water did not taste the same after surgery i just didn't want it and could drink very little of it, but hang in there it gets better i promise

      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.
