Has anyone tried any kind of chewable protein tablet or gummie bear? I just can't stomach the shakes anymore. Despite my best intentions, its been a struggle to make sure I get the protein that I need. Any suggestions?

Why can't you just get your Protein through real food? There are so many good protein sources out there...

1. eggs

2. String cheese

3: Greek yogurt

4. Nuts

5. Lean deli meats

6. Beans

7. chicken, turkey, fish

My own experience has been that until I started eating real food and got rid of most of the Meal Replacement products, I didn't really learn how to live with the band.

I ended up having Vitamin deficiencies because I wasn't eating food. Our bodies need fruit and vegetables and protein to stay well and be well.

Good luck!

I'm only 6 days post-op and I'm only on day 2 of my three Protein shakes a day and I'm ALREADY sick of the protein shakes! They actually make me nauseous when I drink them lol! I didn't know they had protein supplements so I'm going to look into that (Thanks for mentioning it). I also agree with the above post.. did your doctor tell you to continue on Protein Shakes even when you're allowed to eat food? You could also buy unflavored Protein powder to add to your meals for that extra boost! I've heard a lot of bandsters use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. You may want to look into that.

Best of luck and congratulations on your success so far!

Try isopure. Also sometimes I mix my protein with sf jello prepared pudding and sometimes I add pb2. Also try experimenting wtih shakes. You can use sf ff instant pudding mixes or sf syrups, pb2 or even yogurt. Protein is very important from now on. Of course by the time you get to mushy and solids you really need to be eating your protein not drinking it.
