So I am 2 months out and eating everything again (by everything I don't mean junk food). I still am feeling hungry and constantly want to "graze" I talked to my dr about acid reflux and he said that is not the problem. I just never feel full. A big problem I have is not getting down all the protein I need. I get about 65-75 g a day.....I CANNOT drink a protein shake for the life of me. They literally make me throw up (I have tried many different kinds). I need suggestions of other ways to get down protein....snacks, meals, etc....??? I'm down about 40ish lbs and about every week have a stall. So frustrated because I'm trying so hard and so confused why I'm not full

I graze too. I would have a small portion cheese, turkey pepperoni, turkey slices, yogurt, egg salad, tuna, baked beans, etc. every 3-4 hours. I would also have a few raw or cooked veggies with these mini meals for more variety and nutrition. I was able to get my protein in this way only. It kept my metabolism up and I made goal. As long as you graze on the right foods it should be ok!

Sleeve of Steel; I love your title, "Cheesey-humored, Lord of the Rings-loving goofball. It fits you really well!

I also graze throughout the day eating just as Sleeve of Steel mentioned. I just found out yesturday at my consult with a general surgeon that I have lost 2 more pounds since my last visit with my bariatric surgeon last month.... This make me smile!

I am 5 weeks out today and doing the same thing! But I am staying under all my goals on calories, fat, carbs, sugar, etc. and getting in 80 or so grams of protein each day, so I guess it is all right! I carry little packets of peanut butter, babybel cheese, cheese sticks, yogurt and cottage cheese everywhere with me so if I get caught somewhere I have my protein! Magee have you tried Isopure protein drink? It is not like a shake, but more like Gatorade only with no sugar, carbs and low calories. It is the first thing I drink in the mornings while getting dressed. It comes in big bottles, I drink 8 oz in the morning and start out with 16 g of protein and only 60 cal and 0 carbs. I get them at Vitamin Shoppe if you have one of those!

I looovvvvveeeeee beef jerky!!! 1 oz is 15gm protein :-)

have you tried the liquid Protein by New whey? its not like the mixes and it comes in fruity flavors..i was thinking of making my own ice pops with them (when my time comes)

I have tried those...I 2 boxes of different flavors since Before surgery I loved them! Now since my taste buds seemed to have change I can't handle them. Even the smell makes me gag :/

I also use the clear, ready-to-drink protein drinks like Isopure. I've found one that I like that's a bit less expensive than Isopure. It's CytoSport Whey Isolate (they have Tropical, Watermelon and Mandarin). One bottle has 32 grams protein,1 gram carbs & 130 calories. I think both this and Isopure have very strong flavors so I pour 1/2 of the drink into an empty bottle and fill both bottles with water & ice cubes. I sip on these at my desk throughout the day. This gives me a great amount of protein and 1/2 of my liquid intake for the day!

I thought I was the only one going through this. I try my best to drink ice cold water, when I feel the urge to graze (I try) other wise I try to eat healthier snacks as well. I'm 10 1/2 weeks out.
