Dairy has some protien, but it's not all that significant. I would worry about how your getting in 2 servings of Calcium. Protien should come from lean sources of meat such as fish, chicken, pork loin. Aim for at least 60 gms a day.

The OP is 5 days post op so still on liquids.< /span>

kimber, just because you don't like dairy products, you still need to gag down enough to get what you need nutritionally. Try mashed up refried Beans and thin them out with enough taco sauce to get to the proper consistency.

chicken, shrimp, lean lunch meat , tuna, Salmon, tilapia,peanut butter, nuts,protein bars, Beans, veggie patties and any veggie products will help you get Protein. I use to drink milk before my surgery but now I don't drink it at all. I do love cheese however. Start reading labels and find you a few high protein foods

Oh I just realized that you just had the surgery. I was out of luck the first week of my surgery because the Protein Drinks were nasty and made me want to puke. I didn't get good Protein until 2 weeks post op. Good Luck to you, this is a hard time but it will pass and you will have plenty of time to make up for all the protein that you missed.

Muscle Milk Light has some Great Protein Shakes. You just add Water to a couple of scoops of water.

Cookies N CREME, Peanut Butter chocolate, CHOCOLATE MILK, strawberry MILKSHAKE, and vanilla CREME.

If these flavors interest you. P M me, and I will give you the website.

These are the flavors that I drink, and I get them for a reasonable price, and,,, there Good ! 25 G of Protein per 8 oz shake.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
