other protein besides drinking ?

What stage are you on? That will count for a lot in what Proteins you can have.

Generally speaking, meat, fish, eggs, cheese, Greek yogurt all have good amounts of Protein. How much Protein varies by what type.

Get the unflavored Protein Powder. You can sprinkle it on your veggies or in your Soups. Unjury makes a good unflavored one. You can mix it in your flavored yogurt to add a punch of Protein.

There are 6 tablespoons of Protein Powder in each pack, one pack is 21 grams of protein, or 3.5 grams of protein per tablespoon. I use either 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time, depending on my protein count for the day. I sometimes use the chicken Soup flavor one sprinkled on cauliflower or Beans just for a little different flavor.

I eat every meal as Protein first - tuna, salmon, all sorts of fish and seafood, turkey, beef, chicken, egg beaters.... even greek yogurt and cheese add some. I drink premier Proteins and find them palatable.

Try adding zinc too for the hair issue.

I eat those ostrich Protein meat Protein sticks. They come in the health food section of HEB by all the Protein drinks and bulk foods. I also do Protein Shots.

The drinks make me sick too. I try to get through them most days.

Pasteurized eggs mixed with OJ, vanilla and a drop of honey or Monk Fruit sweetener is good.

I use egg/ or unflavored Protein powder in Soups.

Making a ball out of PB2, a scoop of vanilla or chocolate Protein Powder and a bit yogurt in good. You want it to be stiff like a refrigerator cookie. If they are loose I add almond flour.

      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.
