With having to get 60g Protein in, which Ive been pretty right on I thought we could share any tricks of getting extra Protein in.

My favorite is WonderSlim chocolate pudding -15g and

add 1/4c riccotta cheese (skim)-7g.

It makes it really creamy and very filling!

Mags,

I still rely on my Protein Shake in the morning to help. I mix it with skim milk and 1 scoop of Peanut Butter for extra Protein. That way, I can get about 30 grams right there.

I like fat free or lowfat cottage cheese as well. I even had some fat-free refried Beans the other night with a little bit of low fat cheese, fat free sour cream and taco sauce. It was great.

I struggle with this... The most important part. So I rely on Protein Shots 42 grams of whey Protein. It's called New Whey, 1 vile shot has 180 calories, 2 carbs and 0 sugar. I do 1/2 of one a day (1 vile lasts 2 days) so it's an easy 21 grams right there. GNC sales it for $3.49 a vile. I am going to see the nutritionist this week. I thought I paid careful attention to her ideas but without thisI would not get my 60 grams.

@ doctordiva.... They try to hide the Protein flavor with a fruity taste but you still can taste the protein. With that said, the taste is horrible, I hold my breath as I sip. But it it's a lot of protein in just 3.8 so to me it's worth the taste.

Thanks for the info. I may have to try this as I have fallen short on Protein the past couple of days.

I use Protein Shakes. Premier Nutrition brand at costco have 30 g in one shake. I drink that for Breakfast and eat a lot of fish (mostly sole) for dinner. If I don't have fish, I eat greek yogurt to make up for it (14 g in a 6 oz cup). This way,I get my 65g of Protein in most days.

I do an unjury Protein Shake in the morning- with skim milk it's 28 g Protein. Remember, your body can't really process more than 25-30 g Protein at a time, so any more at a time is a waste.

I also eat greek yogurt, it has a lot of protein, the 0% fat with cherry is like 120 calories. Also canned chicken or tuna. With eating these things I've had no problem getting in at least 60 g protein, and it's usually more.

Where do you get the WonderSlim protein? That sounds good for a chocolate fix!!

Thanks for the reminder of the Protein processing limits our body has. Thats why I love this site- it keeps us all up to date! I ordered the Unjury shakes. Should be getting them soon! I haven't really had any issues getting all my protein in either. I DID discover however that Prudence (my band's name) does NOT like 100%wheat sandwich thins! OMG I thought I was dying.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
