Has anyone ever used a Protein pill to get their Protein requirements in?

I remember looking into this in the beginning. If I remember correctly, you would have to take so many pills to hit a reasonable Protein goal that it would be just as easy to eat something. Plus, you have to drink something when you take the pill.

A Protein pill would basically be you just spending a lot of time taking your Protein Powder and tamping it into gelcaps, then swallowing all the pills, maybe 40-50 of them. I'd think you'd really have to hate Protein Shakes to go to that length!

BINGO! lol! That's me. I hate the Protein Shakes so much my body refuses to swallow. It sucks so much. I'm now getting most of my protein in via food thank god.

Mix 4 scoops of unflavored Protein powder with 4 oz milk (I use cashew milk) you have 84 gr of Protein. Add it to everything. You can get all the protein you need in a very small volume.

Add 3 TBS powdered Peanut Butter (8gr) to every shake.

Mix 2 scoops of unflavored Protein Powder to a full container of yogurt and cottage cheese increase the protein to 18grams per cup. The vanilla proved is tasty in the yogurt.

      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!
