That's so funny because I also remember being so excited to NOT be able to shop at Lane Bryant anymore - since their smallest size is 14 and I'm currently in 10's or 12's, I can finally cut up that LB credit card once and for all!

I hear ya sister! I just got into my first pair of 16 jeans from NY&c in 10 years !!! so excited to finally shop again! I have so many shoes & purses bc I always hated clothes shopping!

I cheat. I use little tube of fruit flavored "clear" Protein. Like Yes whey, New Whey, etc. You can get them on line or at any health food store. They ahave anywhere from 35 to 50 grams of Protein in each 3-4 ounce tube. They are fruit flavored, so I just add 1/3 of the tube to my Water or tea 3x a day and WALLAH! I have 50 extra grams of protein. It has 180-260 calories, 2 grams carbs and they taste good. I used the blue raspberry in my tea, or directly into a water bottle.< /p>
They do not have any "fill you up" qualities like a shake, but they get the protein in every day. I love them and swear by them. I have also bought drink mixes from Bariatric Advantage and some other sites that have 15g or so per serving.
Good luck.

A typical day for me;
0600 30g premier protien shake or frozen frozen fruit smoothie w/Syntrax nectar
0900 10g 1whole egg+ 1 egg white
1100 23g 1liter Water w/1 ocean spray flavor(cran-cherry) & 1Syntrax nectar packet(cherry)
1300 15g 3oz tilapia filet
1600 30g premier protien bar(this is a calorie killer but I sacrifice a few calories for the extra protien)
1900 21g 3oz pork loin
2000 23g 1liter Water w/1 ocean spray flavor(cran-peach) & 1Syntrax nectar packet(fuzzy navel)
There is also another liter of water throughout the day but I didn't list it since there is no protien added to it.
This is close to 1000 calories but has over 140g protien, and is based on 3oz portions on the more solid foods
If you trimmed the portions in half and dumped the protien bar you'd end up at about 700cal and 90g protien
For Snacks you can try string cheese, cottage cheese, turkey Jerky, turkey pepperoni, yogurt
