How do you get enough protein?

I was just banded a week and a half ago and I'm still on full liquids but I'm thinking ahead to when I start solids, and I'm wondering how do you get in the recommended 60-70 grams of protein a day with the small bandster servings? What kind of meals do you eat?

  • Egg whites a lot of protein & low cal, tuna with chopped egg whites. Hamburger patty, steam shrimp, steak, lots of chicken. If I'm on the run and need something quick I will grab a Cliff Protein

    This is the fun part, my Dr. pretty much told me to get used to starting the day with Protein shakes since the band is normally tighter in the mornings. All of his staff are banded, and they all drink

I will check with my DR. Its alot of money to spend if its not good for you.

The Unjury is okay. My favorite flavor is the Chocolate Splendor. I don't really care for the Strawberry or the chicken soup flavor. I also got the vanilla figuring I could add flavoring to it if I wanted to. It's not bad mixed with orange crystal light. The unflavored does change the texture and flavor a little bit when added to jello. I've come to the conclusion that there really is no yummy tasting protein drink that is good for you. They are just not going to taste like Carnation Instant Breakfast, Special K or Slimfast shakes. I was told that I could add cocoa powder and zero calorie sweetener to them. I mix either light soy milk or skim milk with the Unjury brand since the have fewer calories than the kind carried by my doctor's office.

Skim milk, Questbars, Greek yogurt, and lean meats like chicken and fish.

Mussels and prawns low calories high protein. My saviour x
