I was sleeved on April 16th. I too have a hard time getting in my Protein. A 12 oz Protein shake takes about 3 hours to finish. I am sure once the stomach heals I will be able to drink faster' date=' but in the meantime any ideas on how to get in all our protein?[/quote']

I'm having the same issues!

I found a heavenly product at Rite Aid. They are Proasis Protein Shots. They are 2.9 oz with 120 calories, 5 grams of sugar, but has 25 grams of protein!! Yay! I love them because it meets all the requirements my doctor gave. I am cutting it close to the sugar but I am watching all intake.

The best thing about it is that it doesn't take that long to drink. I hope this helps. I have found as my little life saver :D

New whey and Body Fortress both have Protein Shots. NW is 42 g Protein 2 Carb. Body Fortress is 26 g protein I think. I haven't had the body fortress ones but New Whey tastes awful. I split it up in shots of 12.5 ml each throughout the day. Can be a protein lifesaver. Special K protein Water mixes gives 5g protein with 1 Carb and is really good.

Those Protein Shots (berry blast, berry frost) saved my butt the last couple days when I got so turned off the Protein Shakes big time! They are not much better, someone called them "goo" I think they taste like medicine, but 2.5 ounces is not a lot to get down. I try to distract myself as I am sipping it down and in 15 minutes I have had 28 gm of Protein. They will probably become intolerable soon, but they worked yesterday and today. I also just received from Protein To Go the vanilla latte protein shots, but haven't tried yet. I'll do that tomorrow morning.

That is good to know. The grape Proasis one taste great but hard to find. So other goo is good to know.

I am so happy with getting on my 74 grams of Protein. I was only able to eat half of one egg, 4 oz. of cottage cheese, and 1Tbsp of Peanut Butter. I relied on 2 Protein Shots for 2/3 of all my protein

I'm glad everyone is doing so well post op! One word on Protein Shots. Make sure they don't use collegen Protein. That type isn't what we need, we need whey. I would hate for you to waste your limited stomach capacity on something that doesn't give you what you need.

What was the brand name on those shots?

I had 2 different brands at first. The one I liked the most, I threw it out and don't know :angry: The other brand is pro balance and it was harder to get down. Now I ordered Protein to Go brand from Amazon and am going to try it in a few minutes.....

kczar - thank you - I had asked the NUT about them and she just said, sounds good - go for it. I'm glad to have some additional information.

Protein to go vanilla latte - not so good for me. I have four of them, so I will try to get them down. And they contain caffeine - which I didn't realize and I know I'm not supposed to have. So jthurman, I don't know if you're allowed caffeine or not. If you are, then I don't see a problem. When in doubt, ask your NUT.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
