I'm having a rough time.. how do you all get it In.. whats your schedule what are you eating?

The shakes are just so disgusting <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Nd the one I like is waaay expensive

If u don't mind me asking, which one did you like?

I eat a lot of cheese (love the babybel cheeses), greek yogurts and chicken. I try to get my Protein in through regular food, but when I am behind schedule I will eat a protein bar or drink a Protein Drink.

I like Atkins Mudslide, which has 15 grams of protein in a single bar. It is also pretty tasty (my kids keep stealing them). There is a Peanut Butter chocolate version with 19 grams.

For protein drinks, especially in hot weather, I really like Bariwise's Fruit Drinks. Each flavor has 15 grams of protein. I like all the flavors but really like peach mango (I believe that is the flavor). It's like a flavored tea, but it isn't tea. It tastes good, and it isn't thick as Protein shakes.

I try to get in at least 15 grams of protein with each meal. With 4 meals a day that is 60 grams of protein. I tend to eat around 6 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. I try to avoid eating at night. I get about 10 grams of protein from Snacks, usually some type of cheese.

I am supposed to have 70 grams a day.

That sounds doable, I've been doing a lot of fish to make up for not drinking the protien shakes. how long after surgery were u able to follow that diet.

I find foods that are heavy on Protein. One of my favorites is ahi tuna. 7 grams of protein per oz. I found the power crunch bars are heavy on protein, taste good, and are wafers so not as filling as say perhaps a denser protein bar. chicken, eggs, string cheese, greek yogurt are all things that I eat from as my meals throughout the day. I also have slim fast low carb high protein shakes on hand that I will drink slowly from throughout the day if I am running low on the protein side and don't feel like eating.

Oh and I use myfitnesspal to help keep track of my protein for me. Its a great resource tool!

Is the ahi tuna anything like albacore tuna? Where do u find it?

I'm on my preop diet now...surgery day may 29th...and I love the extreme smoothies. They have 35 grams of protein per 11 oz and its pure whey isolate.

what are extreme smoothies? Do they contain sugar?

No sugar. They come in chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. They r not real thick or chalky. I get mine at a local health food store in town. U could probably order them online. I pay $2.75 per shake.

I got my ahi tuna steaks in the frozen seafood section at costco. 3lbs for $30 but at only 3 oz per meal it's well worth it.
