protein suppliment besides shake and protein bars?

I am having some trouble getting all my protein in. Is anyone using a protein pill or suppliment that isn't a shake or bar just protein without any food with it?

  • Uh..there's no such thing as a protein pill. Protein comes from food..maybe try protein shots. Dunno. Why wouldn't you just eat lean meats, eggs, cheese, yogurt, etc?

I used this while on my pre op diet... It's creamy chicken Soup from herbalife. 80 calories & 16 grams of protein. not a bad price either:

There are some Protein supplements in liquid that you can get sufficient amount of protein from, the protein tabs that are available don't offer much protein, you'd be better off eating a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I love my fat free prairie farms cottage cheese, it's 80 calories and 14g of protein. I'm not allowed any dairy except cottage cheese due to the high protein content. String cheese or cheese cubes are also a good option. I buy most of my supplements from Bariatric Choice and they do have a Liquid Protein supplement you could look into...They also have others, this was just the first one that popped up. It also was the only one with 5 stars saying it did taste pretty good.

You could also look into protein shots, but I think they taste pretty nasty.

thanks all! The reason I ask is because I am not hungry enough to eat enough protein. I will chat with my dr thanks again

Try getting some flavorless protein powder (GNC has a good one) and mixing it in with your food. Also, dietdirect.com has a lot of high protein snacks that aren't very filling (puddings, soups, and even pretzels).

Try refried beans. They are very high in protein and go down pretty easily even when your band is a little tight.
