I have never been a fan of shakes...none...not even the yummy ones from DQ or McDonalds I tolerated them while on my preop and into my first week or so post op. I see alot of people on here are still using protein powder or shakes, should I be doing this? I get plenty of protein in a day, anywhere from 60-80grams from greek yogurt, chicken, turkey and lots of beans. I am kind of on a Chili kick. lol Am I good? I really hate the idea of drinking shakes, thus my reason for upping my protein in solid form. Please, any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'd rather eat my protein for sure. The only shakes I can tolerate are the premade ones. Like calorie smart boost and I only have them handy for breakfast if I'm on the road/in a rush. Otherwise solids for me! First fill in a week and I'm excited to see if it helps! I'm no restriction right now so I struggle. I'm doing very well considering, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a struggle everyday.

I still drink the shakes a lot for breakfast. I just find it easier when I'm trying to get my two young ones out the door for school in the morning. I don't have time to sit down and take my time eating breakfast. I was using the ones my doc had recommended but they were very expensive. I found CVS brand protein powder has just as much protein and just as yummy. I know before my surgery they warned me I may have a problem when they are blended with ice, but I have no problem, I can't do them with just the powder and liquid mixed.

I still do the protein shakes from time to time I enjoy them I use the 30calorie soy silk milk and nectar protein powder
