Newbie here! Protein suggestions please!



Recommended Posts

Hello! I am a October 8, 2014 sleever. I am from Houston, Texas and my doctor was Dr. Brad Waggoner! Highly recommended! The only problem I am having so far is getting all the necessary Protein. I need some suggestions if what everyone else is using! Currently I use Atkins shakes at 11 ounces each and 15 grams of Protein. Very yummy!!! I have bought others but they all tasted really bad and would like some recommendations. Have any of you tried the protein Soups out there? What other liquid form protein actually tastes good?? Help!!!!!!

Unjury has a Protein chicken Soup that I plan on using after I have surgery in December. It has 21 grams of protein. Also, I'll be doing the Premier Protein shakes too. I've been looking at the Syntha 6 vanilla ice cream flavor too. It has 22g of protein but I'd prefer not to have the 15g of carbs that it has. Good luck and hope to be joining you on the loser's bench soon.

Premier Protein shakes are ready made. I am almost 11 months out and I still have one almost every day. Usually I have a Quest bar too - loaded with Protein and Fiber. White chocolate raspberry - yum. Low fat cheese sticks. Sugar and fat free Greek yogurt. All very pleasant and easy. I am down to size 6 from size 20.

      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.
