Does anyone have any tips to getting all my Protein in daily? I'm easily getting all my liquids in, except I'm not really tolerating Protein Drinks (they make me feel yucky). I'm eating Oikos Greek Triple Zero which is 15g of protein in one cup, but am looking for more options, anyone tried powdered milk as a source of protein? Any ideas? :)

Every Protein drink that I have tried makes me want to vomit so I am in the same boat.

I have found the Think Thin Protein Bars are pretty good and they have 20g in a small bar. I can only eat half at a time so I do morning and bed time snack.< /p>

I love PB2 just on a spoon.

tuna and scrambled eggs are my go to foods. Deli turkey or ham as well.

How far out from surgery are you? What phase are you?

If you don't like Protein shakes you might want to try ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. It's what I was given in the hospital and they really helped me get my Protein in early out.

My program does allow adding powdered milk to increase the protein count of milk.

You also might try no sugar added carnation instant Breakfast.

I'm always changing my Protein drinks up. My program calls for 60-90 grams just from drinks, in addition to food. For a few weeks I was drinking two Premier Protein drinks daily to meet the minimum. This week I've started making drinks again using frozen fruit, yogurt, milk and Protein powder (either unflavored, banana or orange depending on what flavor I'm going for).

In the first few weeks post-surgery I found that I had to drink them really slowly, but as time has passes it has gotten easier. I can drink the Premier Protein shakes the fastest, I think because they are the thinnest.

I've also found it easiest to get all the Protein in when I'm on a schedule.

      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.
