Skip protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys I am 6 months post op now and I am drinking my Protein Shakes for Breakfast. I've started noticing it doesn't keep me full too long and I do better if I have solid food in the am. Anyone else eating solid food for bfast. And if so what? I'm lost at ideas for breakfast. Thanx

I haven't had a Protein Shake at all since I began soft foods. eggs cooked in various ways are my favorite food at any time of day.

I've been really bad with Protein. I haven't drank a Protein Shake in months! lol. I do eat eggs, turkey, chicken etc... But I highly doubt I'm getting in the recommended 60g per day. So far everything has been ok. But I want to do better so I recently purchased some unflavored powder... It still leaves that protein smell in my drinks but I just drink it with a straw so I don't have to smell it. Ugh! I normally eat yogurt or boiled egg for breakfast.! Now I can eat two boiled eggs. I'm super happy about that. (Even though I'm full after that). But my sleeve is progressing...! Good Luck~

Egg beaters are quick and easy to make for Breakfast. I add some chopped up chicken to mine, plus some chopped bell peppers and maybe mushrooms for a little omelette. They will also cook in a bowl in the microwave.

I also want to add, if you add chia seeds to your Protein shakes and let them sit and gel for 30 minutes or so they get a lot thicker and are much more filling. The shake will keep you satisfied much longer. Not to mention it helps tremendously with regularity issues.

I gave up liquid Protein as soon as I could! I never liked the shakes or shots! At my 3 month post op checkup, my surgeon told me that I should be EATING my 60g daily. Since then I have been eating a 20g Protein Bar (Cliff's Builders vanilla Almond) for breakfast every day along with my morning cup of Decaf. I easily get in the rest of my Protein during the day. I focus on a balanced diet and all Is well. My bm's are regular and I have no complaints :) loving my sleeve! I've lost 80lbs in 10 months and I'm keeping it moving to losing 150lbs! Yay!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
