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

Please and Thank you!

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.
