There is alot of Protein in lentils and black Beans which I eat tiny portions of through the week. I have some black Beans in the crock pot right now.

Exactly as @Orchids&Dragons said. beans and lentils are good, but they are not very Protein dense compared to other sources. "tiny portions" throughout the week is not going to make a dent your protein needs.

I get it, Protein Shakes, Water, etc., don't taste great. But you really don't want to go very long depriving your body of protein.

The Protein waters are easier to get down, imho. They're still quite sweet, so I Water them down or add ice. But both the waters and the shakes counts toward both your Fluid and your protein requirements.

They tasted awful maybe I’ll try to Water it down like you I’m getting fluids from the water/ crystal light and one Protein Shake

Have you tried Protein2O? It actually had no Protein taste at all to me, I really liked the flavors I tried.

And they do sell it at Walmart, at least my,local,one does The Pure Protein waters, maybe Sams Club or costco. Also check Meijer, Target, Kroger, Winn Dixie whatever else,you might,have around, failing that Bariatric Pal Store and last resort Megopolis Amazon. I'd much,rather enrich Alex Brecher's wallet --who,looks out for us here than Amazon,who just lives for profit. But that may just be my viewpoint,on the subject. It is still a country with free choice.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
