60 grams protein?



Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing with getting all their Protein in? I am finally taking in some soft/semi-soft foods but am having a hard time getting in all the protein that I need to take in. I start the day with a Protein shake, one of the ones with a higher amount of protein (Pure Protein, OhYeah, others), which gives me about 1/2 my daily need, but I am struggling to get the rest. I have become temporarily (I hope) lactose-intolerant, so I am somewhat limited to tuna, chicken or eggs....and I am getting sick of them!!

Does anyone have any ideas of how I might get some more protein without having to drink another one of these revolting shakes!!!

BTW...3 weeks out and I have lost 31.4 pounds!

I mix the following ingredients in a shaker bottle and drink half before and the rest after my walk:

Premier Ptotein shake: 30 gms Protein

1 5 oz container of greek yogurt: 13 gms

1/2 scoop of vanilla flavored protein powder: 15 gms

Total: 58 gms Protein/ 14 oz fluids

Unflavored Protein (try plain soy if lactose intolerant) added to Soup or broth. Nut butter for a snack. When you make egg salad instead of mayo use half plain Greek yogurt and half mayo. It taste the same but boost your protein

I like the Isopure Zero Carb Protein Drinks in the 20 oz. bottles. They have a bunch of flavors (grape, apple, punch, blue raspberry). they are 160 cals, 40 g Protein - lactose free! They are a little pricey but the Vitamin Shop has them on sale now. I bought a few cases of them to stock up.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
