I go for the Premier Nutrition Protein Shakes at costco, too. Greek yogurt is second and I eat lots of fish. If I eat the fish and have one shake, I usually hit my 65 g of Protein each day, no problem.

If you do go to jamba juice, they can add a protein boost to your smoothie to get the protein in there for you. I have done that on days where I am craving a sweet but want to keep my goals in mind.

I really like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, too. 20g of Protein and only 100 calories. I have the chocolate splendor for Breakfast every morning.

I also eat a lot of tuna- it's loaded in protein.

I have just discovered the Premier Nutrition high Protein Shakes, they are 160 cals and 30 gms of Protein (get them at Costco). I have one a day in the morning because I have a hard time with solids then. of course being a liquid, it doesn't really keep me full. You should try to get the rest of your protein from solids, like chicken, eggs, cheese (sorry, I didn't know if you were a vegetarian; in that case, legumes, tofu)....myfitnesspal is good for tracking, also available free on the blackberry.

I use MUSCLE MILK LIGHT in different flavors.

If I can't drink it down, I'll use 1/2 the amount of Water,

and mix it up in a Dessert dish/cover. Freeze that for a while,

and have a excellent pudding with all the Protein still there.

I too love the Special K shakes. I'm not a huge fan of the chocolate but love the strawberry. Just recently I picked up Protein for Her from Vitamin World. I do a scoop of that, 20 g protein with 8 oz skim/1% milk, mix well then add a special K shake to it to give it better flavor and a bit more body. It tastes great. And Breakfast ends up being 1/2 my protein for the day.

I had a problem the getting the Protein in at first, the shakes were not appealing. I ended up buying the costco vanilla ready to drink ( it has 30g of protein), I blend some strawberries, bananas, blueberries with a Lillie non fat milk, then I pour the two together, tastes delicious! I don't blend the Protein Shake wi the fruit directly as I have found it gets too frothy and makes me feel gassy and bloated.

I have tried a bunch of Protein shakes, I am too tight in the morning to eat bfast so since 2 weeks before being banded I have had a Protein shake every morning. Here is my list in order:

Isopure Vanilla cream with cubes 1.5 scoop and 2 Splenda and I use NF milk

Muscle milk I like the chocolate I buy on the go sometimes at 7-11

Muscle milk vanilla 100 calorie

Premier from Wal Mart

Jay Robb chocolate

I try and mix it up from all the above. For lunch I have Morningstar "chicken" or buffalo wings (fake ones lol) I like chobani high protein and put high protein granola in it too to up my protein and eat it with a weight watchers cheese stick! That's my typical morning and lunch... I'm done with protein before noon. This is my taste and what I have done so it will be different for you but hope it helps give you some ideas. Good luck!

I also add my vanilla Protein, to my coffee in the morning :-)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
