How do you get 70gm of protein without shakes



Recommended Posts

It makes a difference how many time a day you're eating something as far as how easy it is to get all your Protein in without shakes, My NUT recommends eating 3 meals and 2-3 Snacks per day, but I've seen some whose NUT recommend just 3 meals a day only. I actually struggle getting enough calories in more than the Protein. A couple non shake ideas I have that haven't already been mentioned are Quaker Weight Control instant Oatmeal-Maple and Brown sugar flavor-has 7gm of protein per packet and when made with cup of skim milk 15gms. You can find a lot of meat/bean chili's that have a lot of protein, I have one with 20gms of protein (I put in blender ,I'm still in pureed stage). 1 cup of sugar free pudding has 8gm of protein-from the milk and if you add unflavored powder you can make it even higher in protein. I love a cup of the SF cheesecake pudding for my last snack of the day. Not too heavy close to bedtime. You can also buy some meals from online bariatric stores that are high in protein, my bariatric center has their own store which carries a lot of different brands, that's where I get the chili from.

I can manage more like 5 meals a day ... assuming no nausea and no throwing up. I'd love some cheesecake. Some tail - I was looking forward to that at 6 months out.

:)

Looks like you've got something good going there. My question is: does your docs' office help you with this or do you do it yourself?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
