Struggling to get in protein.



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in December and I'm STILL struggling to get in all 60g of Protein. shakes don't sit to well with me but I try to get in one a day. I get my protein in through salmon, yogurt or egg whites but not all 60g.

Any suggestions/ideas? What shakes do you guys like? Maybe it's the brand of shakes I'm getting. Not sure.

My favorite Protein Shake is the Premier Protein chocolate. I haven't really had to rely on shakes much for several months now, but on days I have to travel for work, they really come in handy. I'd suggest eating small meals several times a day to meet your Protein goals. Even at 5+ months post-op, I still eat 7 times per day, about 2 hours apart. I usually get about 100-120 grams of protein per day, so you should be able to get to 60 without too much problem using that strategy. (BTW, the premier protein is 30 grams in 1 container, so that would get you halfway there on its own...)

Cottage cheese for Breakfast maybe, tuna, unflavored Protein Powder can also help you get in your Protein.< br>

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
