    I ordered some NOW whey flavorless protein powder. It made everything I mixed it with smell like my old hamster cage I had when I was a kid.

Greek yogurt, has 16-18 grams of protein per 3/4 cup in most brands. Have you tried unflavored protein mixed in soup or anything like that?

No I haven't tried unflavored protein. and mmmmm I dont like greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Any ideas on what kind foods I can have that have protein ???

Check out online the BariWise products. They are really good and lots of protein.

I used to hate fish but since surgery I can't seem to get enough of it =) YUM! Broiling it is my favorite though =)

I have problems with Protein shakes too, YUCK! Something about the texture and aftertaste ... BLAH! I know I have to have the protein shakes for now until I can get in enough meals to cover it all so I cheat LOL I go to smoothie king and get the gladiator strawberry powder with a few strawberries added in a 20oz smoothie and it is amazing! 45 grams of protein and 3 carbs! Takes me about 2 hours to get all 20 oz in but it solves my protein problem so it is worth it!!

Have you Googled "VSG diet plan" or similar words? Many surgeons post their diet plans and offer a variety of suggestions.

As for the suggestions for soft fish on previous post - you can go to a local Trader Joes for all of these options.

How are those unflavored protein powders? Are they really unflavored? Lol I don't want a weird textureor anything, I'm so picky with that stuff too!

I like to wrap deli sliced ham in provolone cheese for a snack in the morning between my protein shake, and lunch. Two wraps is about 20 grams.

HAHAHA! And this is precisely why I have not ordered any! lol

My go-to food to up my Protein is sashimi. Tuna or salmon. 6 - 9 gm of protein per ounce, depending on the cut.

I also rely on hard or semihard cheeses. Gruyere and Irish cheddar are my current favs. :)

Visit an online store that specializes in WLS. I like www.bariatricchoice.com. You can get a variety of products that are high in protein. I really like the fruit drinks.

i live of of tilipia, egg whites, and greek yogurt.

You can get individually frozen 4 oz filets of tilipia at walmart. You can bake them or george foreman them, and I have every kind of of Mrs. Dash available to change up the flavor.

Egg whites-I use liquid egg whites. 9 tblsp is 15 g of Protein. I add a little salsa, cheese, spinach, or even hot sauce to change up the taste.

I hate greek yogurt too, but i got some sugar free syrup to add to it and it really improved the taste.

I also bought one of those little plastic Popsicle maker containers and added my Protein Drink to it to make protein popsicles. :)

Also, special K makes a mix you add to water that has 5 g of protein....It's pink lemonade. Taste like crystal lite. http://www.amazon.com/Special-Protein-Water-Lemonade-packs/dp/B001AQ9GEO
