Okay Sleeve/DSers at what point wheee you able to eat more that 4 chicken nuggets?

I’m struggling to get Protein. I can’t eat more that that and then I’m not hungry for like 5 hours...

shakes make me wanna hurl at this point, and the Isopure I’m trying to Dilute and add flavors to cover the aftertaste... but failing....

I really want to get my Proteins through food but.. my lord it’s tough!

How long ago was your surgery? I'm 7 weeks out and can only do 1 "chicken nugget" sized piece with maybe 1 tiny bit of vegetable.

Try some different Protein sources. For Breakfast I have 2oz smoked salmon, one hard boiled egg, one wedge laughing cow light cheese. 195 calories, 22g protein, 9g fat, 4g carb. You can cut out the egg if it’s too much and still be at 16g protein. For a mid morning snack I’ll sometimes have a coffee with half a Premier Protein caramel shake. The coffee cuts the sweetness and its tastes great!

Different Protein seems to fill me up quicker than others. But I am 3 months post op, today! I can easily eat 4 oz salmon filet (which I made at home for the first time last night, delicious source of protein!) . Same with most other meats. Although, I don't usually have room for anything else. To get my veggies in for the day, I have to eat them separate than meal times.

Depending on when you had your surgery, your stomach could still be healing. With excess swelling, your pouch is smaller than "normal" until about 6 weeks post op for Sleeve and RNY. I'm not sure about DS. I started being able to eat more, portion wise, at about 7-8 weeks.

About six weeks out and I'm probably averaging 1/2 cup per meal. I've been having a lot of ground turkey with taco seasoning - for an idea of meal size, I take an iceberg lettuce leaf, spread about a tablespoon of sour cream across it, then put in the taco meat and some cheese. Wrap that up, eat it and I'm done.

Tuna pouches with light mayo are great.

Another good source of Protein that I’ve tried and enjoyed is Morning Star Breakfast sausage, Morning Star original grillers and their buffalo chicken burgers. They have good protein content and are softer than most meats. I tried eating a portion of a real hamburger and real chicken nuggets, and it didn’t go well so these have been a nice alternative.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
