Protein goal

[baileyrahn 0]

Hi, I have been out of surgery for about 2 months now & I've been stalled at a certain weight (down 30 lbs or so)...my issue is that I can't get in my Protein. It hurts my stomach and makes me feel like crap after I try to drink the shakes. Anyone experience this?

I've tried premier Protein Shakes and optimum nutrition whey Protein and they're too hard to drink.

Order the sample pack of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury from their website. It is a good quality Protein. They have unflavored powder that you can mix into pudding, yogurt and other things. I was on it pre-op. Luckily I can handle the Premier Protein post op.

If you are two months out can you not eat food? What happens when you eat things like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, turkey, tuna or other fish, chicken, etc.?

I can eat those things but obviously small amounts so it never enables me to meet my Protein goal.

At 2 months I was eating 3-4 ounces of fish 5-6 times a day to get my Protein in, something like that. A really moist baked fish turns to mush in your mouth. Maybe give that a shot.

Have you tried Syntrax Nectars?

As someone else suggested, have you tried Syntrax nectar? ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates are light and fruity, too.

Have you tried Protein pudding or Soup? I like the WonderSlim puddings and the ProtiDiet Tomato basil and creamy chicken Soups. unjury chicken Soup is good, too.

You may need to eat more frequently if you can't find a protein supplement you like.

I agree, if you can't get in too much Protein at one sitting, you may need mini meals through out the day. Cottage cheese 1/4 cup is around 11-12 g of protein.. greek yogurt (dannon light & fit) I know is 12g of protein.. oscar meyer P3 Protein packs deli Snacks are about 14g of protein (they're 2.3 oz) Find some things that you like, that are easy for you to get down.. you'll be able to increase your protein a bit more down the road. I know early on it was easier for me to drink no sugar added carnation instant Breakfast with a cup of skim milk-- it's lighter feeling going down than the usual protein powders... not as much protein, but I was able to work up to the ones like unjury when my stomach was ready for them. Or sprinkle unflavored or vanilla Protein Powder into yogurt, applesauce, etc to get more in that way maybe.
