Hey All,

Almost 2 months banded and about to get my 2nd fill. I have a question about Protein. I've been drinking Muscle Milk brand because it tastes good. I've tried others and they are nauseating. Is this good protein? The only problem is that my doctor said I should replace a meal for these? When I drink a muscle milk I'm full but only for like 20 mins. What Protein shakes do you drink? Which are better tasting and satisfying?

The drinks are good to help get in extra protein but they aren't going to fill you up. You should be taking in solid protein, if you can. To really feel satiated between meals solid food/protein is what will work. For breakfast, better choices would be eggs, oatmeal (after I cook mine I add a couple egg whites and cook for 2 minutes.. sounds gross but is yummy, then add a couple pecans or walnuts and fruit pieces), there are high protein cereals, Greek yogurt (Dannon Light & Fit is good).... I think that is what your dr. is suggesting, not another drink but an actual meal.

try some greek yogurt and also food high in protein like meats

You need to transition to getting more and more of your protein from regular food. Eggs, tender meats, etc. I don't think you want to live forever on Muscle Milk!
