I had my surgery on September 19th and I am down 28 lbs! The protein is the hardest part for me...I have tried so many and I don't like any of them! I even went to the pharmacist to ask it there was a pill form...he laughed and told me protein doesn't work that way...any suggestions?

I tried the unjury chocolate and chicken broth. Both were great. The chocolate one is better with milk than water and the broth, as with any time you heat liquid with protein you have to make sure that you don't get it over 130 degrees or it gets lumpy and nasty. I always heated water to 130 then added the protein and stirred. Do some test runs with a 4 and 8 oz of water in your microwave and take a meat thermometer and check. Mine was 1min and 7 sec to get to 130. Good Luck

Congrats on getting a date! Just take things one day at a time and remember that it's not all peaches and cream...it's still work to get the weight off! :)

I didn't do protein shakes once I could eat real food. All of my protein came from the real food. I made jello with fruit flavored protein--Jay Robb Pina Colada protein goes great with lime, orange or raspberry jello--but a lot of the protein came from eggs, which I ate every day in one form or another; plain Greek yogurt, Fage, which tastes like sour cream; nonfat cheese; various meats; nonfat refried beans; and the like.

I would just recommend keep trying and see which works for you. Some of them taste ok to me, but my stomach doesn't like it so much. Or they'll taste like crap but don't effect my stomach. With me, I rarely need shakes now as I am able to get most of my protein from eating. Good luck!

Shrimp! Just discovered it and is a great source of protein. 7 shrimp = 18 grams of protein and 100 calories. I can't do the protein shakes either, well, maybe once in awhile. I haven't tried Unjury and I should check in to it. But shrimp has been an easy way for me to get the protein. Thanks for the post- you are not alone! Good Luck!
