I was sleeved on march 25th. I only did the liquid thing for a week or so. I eat whatever I want of corse though maybe only 3 or 4 bites and I can feel that I'm full. I know I'm not getting anywhere near 60 grams of Protein daily.

Can u name some things if u don't mind I'm open 2 any suggestions

I was sleeved 3/19. I never had to do the liquid thing after surgery .. but still have trouble with water and protein( I still use a protein drink a day )... so lets see what people write to help us.. i aim for 45 g protein and 6 glasses of water.. here are some foods .. greek yogurt, chili with shredded cheeses,, cheese,, ham and cheese roll up,, egg whites with cheese omellete, tuna salad ,, egg salad, cottage cheese,, ricotta bake,some chicken and veggies ...

let me ask you how much can you get in at a meal. I use a 1/2 cup for my measurements but sometimes cant do it all.

Mostly I am eating 98% fat free cream of chicken I'm only able 2 do 2 teaspoons & I put 1 scoop of Isopure unflavored protein in it which is 26 grams of protein but I am so tired of it I also do egg beats 3 teaspoons with 1 slice of fat free cheese which I am also getting sick of yes I need ideas & need them fast lol cooking all these great things 4 my fam I wanna cook something great tasting 4 me

My dietician gave us a bunch of hand outs, but in my 3rd week it allows, cream of wheat, oatmeal, malt o meal, 4 oz of protein supplement(shake). All kinds of stuff. Try this website www.muschealth.com/weightlosssurgery.

God bless

Hi Toy - I am at the 3 week mark as well and am having problems. Scrambled eggs don't work for me, neither is the greek yogurt. I tried vegan chili but that was a big mistake. Last week I even went so far as to buy baby food! Thought Gerber spaghetti and meatballs might work - went down okay but came out the other end like thunder!

Yesterday morning I had cream of wheat with Gerber bananas mixed in to make it very runny. It went down okay but I only got about 2-3 tbs in me. I had about the same this morning. I did try a small bite of chicken last night that was okay but my oldest ate the rest of the breast today so I had none to try tonight. I turned to tuna instead. I mushed it up well and added some plain yogurt. That went down well. I used maybe 1/4 of the can but at least it was something!

My menu shows cottage cheese, puree fruit, puree Soup and puree veggies this week so there are a few things to try still. And of course I couldn't live without my sugar-free popsicles! :-)

Oh, I also am trying the Special K Protein shakes which aren't bad. I thought the sight of another shake would make me barf but that isn't too bad. Of course it takes me an entire day of finish one....but half a day is better than nothing.

I think at this point I am taking in less than 10 grams of protein a day so I am doing all I can to get more in. I bought the GNC flavorless Protein powder but it is tricky to incorporate with the few things I am eating thus far. Fortunately I am able to take larger sips of Water finally because I really missed that.

I hope this helps. I know how frustrating this is. It's scary too because we KNOW we need the protein. My energy level was at it's lowest ever in my life on Friday. I went to bed at pm in tears, totally exhausted. I have heard that people do hit the "gotta have a nap daily" point around week 4 so at least I am ready for it.

Keep smiling....we will get through this together! I hope to see my NUT this week and will share any tips he gives me.

Thanks 4 ur help I asked my nut. About the kell protein shake & she told me they not really protein shakes I would check into that if I was u & can't wait til week 4 so can eat soft meats not just mushies & so true popsicles r my fav thing 2

Tuna/Egg/Chicken (from a can) salad with a T of canola/olive oil mayo, 1 scrambled egg, 4 oz of greek yogurt, 4 oz of cottage cheese, ricotta bake from Eggface's page & protein shakes. I prefer the vanilla soy powder from Trader Joe's (it's not tasty so much as it goes down pretty smoothly & takes well to sugar free syrup)
