​I also buy Body Fortress, in chocolate only. I add some Decaf instant coffee and some peppermint extract with the milk and tons of ice and make a thick shake. I have one every day for Breakfast and love them. The coffee and peppermint kills the medicine taste from the shake

My dietitian told me to buy Cliff Protein bars, 20g of Protein. I love the chocolate mint ones. (Yes I love chocolate and mint). I keep the bars cold

For protein how about ground beef? Like meatballs with Tomato sauce or sweet and sour meatballs. For the sweet and sour I use low sugar grape jelly and equal part of chili sauce. Put them into a pot and heat until they come to a boil. Make your meatballs (or turkey, chicken etc.) put into the pot and turn on low for about 1 hour. They are great. I usually have 3-4 per serving depending on the size I make. They freeze well, too.

Thanks Carolinagirl! Can I get that brand on Amazon? I live in Germany right now and choices are slim. Great idea on meatballs, Dylan! I will definitely try that!

Saw a good idea on here on a different thread.. Mixing Protein Powder into home made Jello

I had trouble getting them in as well. I found Syntrax Nectar works great. They have all sorts of flavors and the fruit ones taste just like Crystal Light. It's a lot of trial and error before you find something that makes it easy to get down.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
