Hi everyone.... Can anyone recommend a way to get m Protein in daily. Is it best to get the Protein Powder and sprinkle on stuff thru out the day, or to drink the Protein Shakes? I like the EAS shakes, I know for sure..... is anything else better? Thanks! Any and All input welcome~Peggy :D

My dr recommends only 1 shake per day and says not to drink your calories. chicken is very high Protein, I like the tyson grilled & ready chicken. 3 oz of it contains 21g of Protein and I usually have a little cottage cheese on the side. (1/4 cup of prairie farms, fat free cottage cheese has 40 calories and 7g of protein). 2 large eggs have about 14g protein and add some cheese for another 3-7g of protein. The EAS shakes are pretty good, I love the chocolate fudge flavor! I usually take one of those for lunch at work everyday. I also like super fortress whey Protein Shakes from Walmart (chocolate, Cookies n cream and vanilla are good...hated the strawberry and the Peanut Butter one is a little bitter but not bad), I also bought some Syntrax nectar protein and it is VERY good!

It's a brand of Protein, they sell samples of different flavors, they have fruity flavors, unflavored and sweet flavors. I was really happy with the Protein from Walmart but I was getting bored with it and heard a lot of great reviews about the Syntrax nectar and decided to try it. Now I don't think I'll go to any other protein! It's so good and flavorful instead of bland or bitter like a lot of others. It's no sugar, no fat and high protein. I buy most of my stuff from Bariatric Choice, they have some great deals and high quality items.

My surgeon is very strict on what I can and can't have so unlike a lot of other banders, I can't have milk (even skim or soy) so I have to mix my protein with Water only. I also can't have any fruit due to the natural carbs so the flavor of the protein shakes is a big deal to me!

Thanks so much.... what exactly is the Syntrax Nectar protein?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
