Since surgery I can't stand Protein shakes! It feels like I can taste almost every freakin chemical or whatever is in it. It makes me so nauseated! I am almost 7 weeks out. I am tolerating soft foods fairly well. I prefer food to get my protein! What do you eat that you get your protein in- preferably not adding any kind of protein supplement in! :) thanks every one!

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury? THey have some that are flavorless. I have heard they are good.

I get mine from food--FF greek yogurt, FF cottage cheese, etc. Note that I a a year and a half out which is why it is easier to get all my Protein from food. Early on, it is difficult.

I have found that it is impossible to get all of the required Protein from just food. I mean physically impossible to eat what you need to eat then drink what you need to drink in the 16 hours you have to do it each day. Like you, I have tried at least 6 different brands and I prefer Quest and AMP, both found at GNC. Good luck!

I feel your pain! I've never had a tasty one that is pre-made. If you have a blender, make your own using Protein Powder (I like Muscle Milk Light, Chocolate). I put two scoops in the container and equal parts Water and ice, totaling about12 ounces, and blend. If the ingredients are cold you will get a slurry consistency. Not as good as Dairy Queen but definitely decent.

Have you considered trying HMR chicken Soup? It is very high Protein, low fat and tastes really good! I used this HMR program many years ago and was very effective. They also have some of the best tasting high protein oatmeal I have ever tried. You can order the foods separately. As you advance in your diet, it can be modified. There are tons of yummy tasting recipes. http://hmrprogram.com/static-assets/html/HMRFoods/HMRChickenSoup.html

      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.
