Protein protein protein!



Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out how to get in 60 to 80 grams of Protein a day.

Can you give me an example of your day and how you get your Protein in?

Please and Thank you!

Oops! Let me add I am 10 days post op!

I drank 2 Premier Protein shakes a day for total of 60 grams of Protein the first few weeks. Once on solid food at 5 weeks I was able to get protein from fish, turkey, chicken etc but still have one shake to supplement. At 4.5 mths out I can't eat enough protein. Many folks use unflavored Protein Powder to add to solid foods. My goal for protein is now 70 grams a day and get that most of the time.

What is your eating schedule like, if you don't mind my asking?

At 4.5 mths out, I have a Protein shake for Breakfast. It keeps me full for 3 hrs or so along with constantly drinking liquids throughout the day. I eat lunch of mostly Protein, may have a protein snack in afternoon and then dinner around 7.

I don't eat on an exact schedule and some days I can eat more than on others. I always have liquid to drink except with meals.

At 10 days out , I sipped Water and drank protein all day. As you heal and swelling goes down, you will begin to figure what works best for you. And make adjustments as you go.

I got tried of Premier Protein really quick... No now I try to drink two cups of Fairlife Fat Free milk with sugar free chorale mixed in... And a scoop of GENEPRO Protein mixed in as well... It's odorless and tasteless. You can also put it in yogurt..

I add a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder to everything to boost the Protein. I scoop has 10 grams. It's lists cheaper in the canisters than the packets.

I scoop in 8oz of 1% milk is 28 grams of protein and 270 calories. I can only drink 4oz at a time.

Also add it to bone broth, but it can't be hotter than 140 degrees or it clumps up.

I mix it with yogurt and cottage cheese 1scoop per cup ahead of time.

Sometimes in V8 juice... I do miss veggies.

There are probably other brands of unflavored protein out there.

I do something similar. I use 5oz fairlife and 5oz fairlife chocolate with 1tbs GENEPRO and 1tbs PB2. Tastes kinda like a Peanut Butter cup.

      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.
