How in the heck do you, or did you, all find a way to reach 60 grams of protien a day. I need help bad!! Everytime I eat anything an hour later I have the worst hunger pangs. the most I have had with protien is the the broth 2 grams!!!!! and thats for a whole serving!!!! Any help is much appreciated!!

PS and yes i am drinking my Water so its not being mistaken for dehydration

Find a good Protein drink and add it to soy milk. That is the best way to get ur protein in. Also look for Soups that have protein.

I have even blended soups that have meat in them to get enough.

U dont have much longer....

Are you in the full liquid phase? If so, I used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate protien drink. That bad boy's got 20 grams of protien/serving and it tastes great. I just blend it up with some Water and ice (or with milk so it tastes like chocolate milk). It's good and you get your protien in.

I feel your pain about feeling hungry. I was hungry 3 days out! The protien helps.

Im in the full liquid phase. Im not sure how many ounces it is but do you drink 3 a day and one in one serving? make sence? just sip till gone? Thanks again big help!!

I personally went with the choice of Nutri Burn, My nutricianist was most pleased with my option, because it provides 30 grams when mixed in 8oz of water and 38 grams when mixed with milk. It is not bad tasting either, but so far I have only been able to obtain it over the internet at approx. 39.95 for a 2.7lb container.

TRy this Protein drink:

In Blender: 6 oz. sugar free apple juice

1/2 small banana

6-7 frozen strawberries

2 packets Splenda sweetner

Blend on "liquifey" until smooth, then add 1 level scoop of Isopure whey Protein powder (found at most health food stores) and choose the "blend" setting on your blender. pur over crushed ice for a yummy protein drink!

Isopure contains 23 grams of protein in every 6 oz of liquid. AS well it is the unflavored and has no taste.

Enjoy!

I Was On Full Liquids For 4 Weeks. Try Getting Powdered Egg Whites And Put In Your Protein Shakes. Now That I'm On Regular Foods I Still Put Powdered Egg Whites In Everything Possible So I Get The Protein I Need.

Thank you for all your help, there are a ton of options I will for sure be trying them!!

Since you are newly banded, I would suggest Atkins Advantage 20grams of Protein. Don't stress about getting all your protein in right now. You will be able to in about 3 weeks. unjury which you order on line also has 20 grams and they have an unflavored protein you can desolve in your broth.

Try adding Peanut butter to your shakes. Adds great flavor and a few grams of protein. I think 8 per tablespoon.

Bene-protein can be added to milk, coffee, juice, broth, pudding, etc... Just don't nuke it.

It gets nasty! Can be purchased at www.walgreens.com If this is to expensive, you can add powdered milk to a carnation instant breakfast in addition to the reg milk you mix with it.

how about any idea's for clear liquid stage?

You can still use the Bene-protein in clear liquids also. Just remember to not nuke it. Make sure the hot liquids are not added at a boiling temp and added at a temp you would drink it at before you add the Bene-protein. Use a whisk to mix it thouroghly.

If you need the Bene-protein sooner than ordering online, if you go to a pharmacy most likely they will order it for you and have it next day. Thats what my pharmacy did for me. Good Luck!

Hi, I was banded in Belgium on 5th December, but am living on soups and yoghurt. Can anyone give me any suggestions to get my metabolism running, and what to live on now?

Hello Justine,

To get your metabolism going have your protein drink right away when you get up. The longer you wait to eat or (drink in your case) the slower your metabolism will be. We also learned this at Weight Watchers. Even 8 oz. of milk will get a jump start on the day.

I'm not worrying about it. It hasnt even been mentioned to me by my surgeon or dietician, again another thing that's a bit different here in Australia. Obviously protein is necessary in what you eat but for me it's not the focus. In actual fact I was thinking more about protein in the first few days and having protein shakes in preference to anything else and I felt deathly ill. The minute I dropped it and started figuring ways to get the good foods I would normally eat in in liquid form I feel about a million percent better and am not fainting anymore.
