how to get the protein that is needed



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on may 28 th I was a little sick for the first two days then finally I was put on liquids when I was discharged my doctor told me to remember to take the Protein Shakes (100 whey protein) however the shake couldn't take me...lol I could keep them down on my first visit I spoke to a nutritionist and she had me change the brand to Isopure and I just had some one Friday and it came right back up so I phone in and told her what else could I do so I came up with this plan 1 cup of plan Greek yogurt, 2 scoops of the powder, 2 pack of splendid, 2tsp of vanilla extract and pinch of cinnamon use the mixer and blend it, very tasty that gives me 68g of Protein the rest I get from my foods we need a total of 70g

Well you are on pureed foods now correct? If so you can have cottage cheese and there is like 13 grams in a half cup, plus like tonight I took a boneless chicken thigh and pureed it with 1/2 cup of cream of chicken Soup and had that with mashed potatoes/cauliflower, everything I eat i check the proteins....like I am sure you do too. I do like Premier Protein as a shake it is pretty tasty...I get mine from Sams club, but if you go out to their website you can find out who sells it near you.

I made a pot of homemade split pea Soup and I put unflavored Protein Powder in it. Just don't let it get to hot or the powder gets icky. Good source of Fiber (with all that protein...fiber is a goooood thing.)

For three years I've been starting and ending my day with a cup of Organic skim milk. That is an additional 18 grams of Protein.< /p>

You gave me this advice a couple of weeks ago and it has been a lifesaver. Was never much of a milk drinker but now I wake up and have to have a glass. Thanks for the advice - it has worked for me. Now if I could just get the food part down a little better ill be blowing and going!

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
