I discovered a way to feel more full.



Recommended Posts

Maybe this might help someone else. I’m 7 months out from being sleeved. I enjoy a healthy carb snack at the end of my day. Mine is a homemade granola made of seeds and oats. Eaten with full milk. Well, some days as I calculate what I ate that day, I do see I am lower than I want to be on my Protein. So a few times the past few days, I’ve added a scoop of plain grass fed nonflavor no sweetener whey Protein Powder to my granola (which I always measure in the same little cup thingy). Half a portion of protein powder, so really about 11 g.

Guess what? The same exact snack I have almost every night and finish it no trouble, I CANNOT FINISH because I get that terrible fullness about half way through because I added protein powder to it. And I eat less of it. So I might not get to add the whole amount of protein to my day’s nutrients, BUT I GET THAT RESTRICTION. This might help others who sometimes worry they aren’t getting enough restriction. Try it. Add some plain protein powder to something liquid or mushy at the end of your day, or to your tv snack. Hope it helps someone else.

Interesting. I noticed that GNC now sells unflavored 100% whey Protein Powder and I almost bought some, but I have no idea what I’m currently eating that I could mix it into.

Cool, I'll have to try it. What brand do you use? I have some Isopure Protein powder, but find it has a pretty nasty taste when mixed in.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
