Having trouble getting my daily protein
Have you tried the Isopure liquid protein drinks? They have several flavors and each 20oz bottle is 40g of protein. Drink them ice cold and over ice and that will help u eat more protein. I got mine from the vitamin shop

The Ninja is awesome! I made organic pinto bean and black bean puree and used onions, bell peppers, and some lean ground turkey and it is SOOO GOOD. The ninja makes it super smooth and easy to swallow. I bought 2 ounce and 4 ounce portion cups as well. I am currently getting full off of the 2 ounce cups and drink my protein shakes for a snack.

Three Weeks Post Op Stall
I lost exaxtly 17 pounds as well and I thought I was stalling out, come to find out I was not getting enough fluids. Yesterday 7/22/17 was the FIRST TIME I got all 64 oz of water in. If we don't drink enough it will slow us down. Today I already had my first 16 oz bottle of water and I am going to open up my 2nd one in a few minutes. Stay encouraged and make sure you are getting your protein in.

Post Op Diet
Hi i just started my puree diet a few days ago. I have been enjoying black bean or pinto bean puree ( organic beans from sprouts) and I cook them with onions, bell peppers, and a little ground turkey. After it cooks together I throw it in my ninja to get it smooth, and it's so wonderful. I started my vitamins two weeks out and I ordered them from Amazon 1. ProCare Health is the brand- Bariatric Multivitamins with 45 MG of Iron ( 90 pills in the bottle) take 1 per day - $45.99 2. Caltrate is the brand: Calcium supplement with D3 - they are gummie bites 3. Liquid B-12- I got those locally from sprouts 4. Biotin - 10,000 mcg 1 time per day. I take these now to prevent the hair loss that usually occurs 3-6 months after surgery. The brand I ordered from Amazon is made by a company called Sports Research- High potency Biotin made with coconut oil and it's 120 pills in the bottle they were $19.99

No Regrets ---but this is 'no fun'
I am 22 days out and I also struggle with cooking. i can only have puree foods right now, but I have enjoyed making my own pinto bean or black bean puree with onions, bell peppers, and ground turkey. I still have head hunger when I see restaurants, but not physical hunger. The struggle is real.
