Protein????

[proud-dad 0]

I have only been able to get in about 20 grams of Protein in the last 2 1/2 days. I cannot drink one more Protein Shake. What can I do on my liquid diet to get my required amount of protein. This liquid diet is driving me crazy.

Try getting some unflavored Protein (Welcome to the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Homepage) and mixing it with Jello or pudding. They even have a chicken Soup flavor.

Best of luck!

Ditto on Unjury. I got the chicken Soup with 20 grams of Protein in it and was surprised I liked it. I also got the unflavored, and chocolate and vanilla. I've used Unjury for a long time, the most bang for the buck.

I ate alot of the high Protein Jello. I put either the vanilla Unjury with any flavor jello (sugar free) and then some sugar free cool whip. I also used the strawberry sorbet unjury with any of the red jellos. They have chocolate that I mixed with soy milk and a couple of ice cubes in the blender. I don't blen very hard or it gets too much air in it. I couldn't handle the chicken Soup unjury but personal preference. mama59

IDS New-whey Protein Bullets (3.1 oz). They have 42 grams of Protein in only 3 ounces of fluid!! They come in fruity flavors...grape, punch, orange, bluerazzberry. You can get them at GNC, Vitamin World (cheapest), bariatriceating.com. I swear by them because I only need 4.5 oz. (1.5 bullets) to get all my protein for the day.

I use the Medifast 55 shakes (these are for women and the Medifast 70 shakes are for men) which I like 10 times more than the Unjury. They just don't taste so medicinal and they have several flavors, chocolate, strawberry, banana, Vanilla, Orange Creme and Mocha (which can be heated like a hot chocolate). I'm a picky eater and these honestly just taste like real good flavored shakes. They have 15 grams Protein and I add in a scoop of powdered protein to add another 7 grams. 2 or 3 of these and you have most of your protein in for the day. I also added scoops of powdered protein to cream Soups like Tomato or Cream of chicken and to sugar free puddings. It doesn't change the taste at all. You can go to: Medifast | Shop Medifast

I'm telling you, you won't be sorry.

Good luck to you all

i didn't have to worry about Protein, as per my doc, during the first week. i just had clears. i'm now on mushies and i drink ProtiDiet cold drinks (i like orange & grape) and they are pretty good-15grams of protein. considered "clears" as well. might want to try that.

I use Profect Protein capsules. I order them through the website. They have 25 grams of protein in a 3oz. capsule(looks like a test tube).

These are what I'm using too and I LOVE them. I bought the fruit punch, grape and orange flavors and I swear they're a life saver! Two swallows and I've got 42 grams of protein out of the way for the day. I was really struggling with getting all of my protein in until my dietician told me about these "shots".

I also add a scoop of vanilla unjury to a sugar-free Carnation instant Breakfast for a little something sweet in the evenings.

my nutritionist suggestion making power Protein milk (8oz of milk either skim or 1% mixed with 1/3 cup of dry milk =16 gms of protein.

Use this to make puddings, creamed Soups, mashed potatoes, whatever you would use milk in...

I also use the power protein milk with an instant Breakfast for 23gms of protein in 1 8 oz serving.

Do you like cottage cheese or ricotta cheese?? they are also high in protein...there is a great recipe here for "fake lasagna" that is very tasty...

I agree with the New Whey Protein bullets, they are awesome and more than half your days protein in one dose. Not bad tasting and portable. The rest of your protein should be from food, fish, chicken, etc.

My surgeon had not heard of these so I took him one and he said that it was a good way to go. Hope that helps abd good luck.
