What's the verdict on getting protein in through smoothies? I love fruit and I enjoy eating it raw but if I can't have it, can I get an all fruit smoothies with protein from Jamba Juice? Is that too much sugar? But oh how I miss my natural goodness.

Way too much sugar!! It probably wouldn't sit well in your tummy

It sits amazingly and I can drink a whole 16oz:( after I drank that last week I thought wow that is dangerous. Yeah I will stay away. But I am sad that I can't bite into an apple!!! (I'm 3weeks out)

I just read that you are a band to sleeve revision that might make things different? But I was told be careful fruits with small seeds, strawberries etc. perhaps try a banana in a homemade shake?

Yes I am. Though I took my band out a year before my sleeve my dr said I will be a slow loser AND restriction is harder to feel (why didn't he tell me that before the sleeve!??) so I think liquids are easier for me. Yeah a strawberry scares me right now. I have been eating raspberries and that's been doing the trick.

How many calories do you eat daily?

I'm further out than you! But I eat between 500 and 700 calories a day.. I eat my protein first about 2 to 3 oz then I throw some veggies in. I haven't had a lot of fruit yet. Oh and I still drink my protein shakes! What can I say I like them!

I'm a slow loser no miracles here!

Oh and they also don't tell you you won't feel the restriction with all the junk food too!!

We all learn that the hard way!

What protein are you using?? I'm hating every Protein Drink I've tried

I use the ready made premier protein shake..

I keep them at room temp because its cold here.

I find they get the job done they fill me up pretty good.

I might have to break down and buy assume premade ones, they're so much more expensive, but i need ty get in the protein somehow

Today I bought a tofu smoothie.. I didnt try it no idea if its yummy or not im afraid to try it. Since my belly denies everything...

I buy them at Costco so they aren't to bad I have one for breakfast everyday, sometimes dinner too if nothing else sounds good ( like tonight)

Oh really... Thats good to know... I will try it as soon as my belly gets better... It confuses me because isnt tofu meat? How can it be made into a smoothie.. I never even tasted tofu before

Tofu is a soy product . It has good protein in it so lots if vegetarians eat it.. And it can be made into lots of things!

I've not tried a tofu smoothie it sounds interesting!

I have had ice cream made of it though years ago yummy

just want to remind you that one of the pitfalls i have heard about is drinking your calories. drinking things high in calories will not promote the weight loss and can even bring about weight gain. I know how you feel about missing something you loved. I loved icecream and it is one of the few things that still tugs at me saying "eat me".. i haven't given in and i hope not to.. not yet anyways.. still have lots of lbs to lose! good luck!

Yeah I drink Premier shakes for breakfast too. I didn't mind them but lately have been getting sick of them so I took two days off and started again today. The muscle milk light is disgusting. Premier is the best way to boost my protein where I need to be.
