I'm not getting my Protein in. I try and try and if I get 30 g's I'm lucky. It takes hours for me to finish my Protein drinks. I thought it would be easier when I was able to eat 'real' food but I'm not being successful at that either. I can just about get 4 - 5 small forksful of chicken salad in. Last night we went out and I ordered sashimi thinking that this would do the trick. If I got two ounces in, I'd be surprised. I'm afraid to push it because of all the bad stories so when I start to feel full I quit eating. Since it takes me so long to get the shakes in, my other liquids are falling behind.

I really want to be compliant with this program. I'm working hard at it. I am on the treadmill, I'm trying to eat, but I'm failing. I haven't lost an ounce in a week (in fact I am up .4).

Any suggestions ?

Had a tough time myself I did go to grazing had to wasn't getting enough protein or vitamins or liquids. I used powerzero alot and then started drinking fuze drinks learned to read the lables and drank alot just a little at a time. now to suppliment my protein needs I take a teaspoon of peanut butter and lick it. Not my favorite but works. I have been really lucky and never feel hungry. Make myself eat. I have also started keeping cherry tomatoes in my pocket while outside. They seem to help keep my hydrated along with keeping down extra vitamins.

Rosebud - have you tried the string cheese? I found that if I chew it really well I am able to keep it down and it's 6 gms. of protein and 3.5% of saturated fat and less than 1 gm of carbs.

Isopure Jello shooters!! :lol0: LOLOL!! now THAT is going to be something i try for sure if i go thru with this surgery! this is absolutely where i need to be!! you guys are some seriously creative Protein people!! :lol0:

:thumbup:

ron -

ps - ur not failing! Hey! ur still in the game bc you're still TRYING! for sure try the grazing method - and i don't know much about the DO'S AND DON'TS here - but how bout some miso Soup with some SUPER puree soy peices in it?? soy in the pre-cut small cube form from health food stores is really soft and u can puree it to make it smaller and make it even mushier with miso soup or even chicken broth!

What stage are you at? I've been thinking a lot about doing the PB thing. I love PB and it has a good amt of protein, no?
