Is anyone else doing Insanity? I just started yesterday with my husband (who also has a sleeve). I'm also doing Couch 2 5k (on week 3) and will run my first one in June.

I have switched to a real food diet recently (not counting calories, fat, etc), but now that I'm exercising so heavily I know I need to watch my Protein. How do you get enough protein w/o shakes (I cannot tolerate them!)? I'm about 8 1/2 months post op and still cannot eat much (which I'm TOTALLY ok with!). But Insanity has you eating 5 small meals a day, and I stay full for so long after eating one I'm not sure how I'll get enough.

Do you like seafood? I used to love chicken pre-sleeve, but 12 weeks out and really can't eat it. I struggle getting it down, and if by chance it does to down, it will not stay down!! My sleeve LOVES shrimp and it is super high in protein. It's like Bubba Gump in my house! It's very low in cals. So I have to eat a little more.

Hope this helps.

What about the protein bars? Premier has one with 30g of protein & their great! But then, I like the Premier shakes too...so not sure if you would like them??

I'm doing insanity too ,and let me tell you i sweat bullet with that work out. Yes, it is intense and i don't follow their diet. I follow my nut recommendations. Good luck
