Ok so I'm supposed to get at least 60 grams of Protein a day. Like most, I'm sick of them *just bored with them, not physically. But all the pre ops stuff all I remember was them pushing shakes!

The food options I have are pretty high in protein. Question, if what I eat during the day gets me close to or at 60 does that mean I don't a shake? Or is it eat what's on my list and get 60gms from shake?

From what my nutritionist said was that the Protein can come from any source, the shakes are just one of the options. So if u are getting all your protein through food then you don't need the shakes.

I don't do shakes at all...can't stand them. I get at least 70 grams of Protein from food (which is what my surgeon requires)! You don't need them as long as you are getting your Protein requirements in.

How far out are you?

I am under the impression that you need to get your Protein however you can: from food, supplements, or a combination thereof. You don't want your body burning your muscle for energy---do what it takes!

Wow and you are able.to get that much Protein in with just food?

I still can't and I'm 24 weeks out :(

Lots of tuna. 2.5 ounces has 16 grams. Turkey sausage and ground turkey and chili without Beans. Oh and cheese. It's been easier because everything was pureed. Now that I've started trying regular foods...I can't eat nearly as much. I try anything possible to keep from drinking Protein shakes. If I absolutely have to...I drink the pre-mixed EAS shakes.< /p>

I try not to use shakes. But I do add a scoop of unflavored Unjury to my crystal light which adds 21 grams. Also I add 1 scoop of chicken Soup flavor unjury another 21 grams to my shredded chicken and mix it with Greek yogurt instead of mayo then add seasoning to get as much as I can. I also eat a lot of tuna.< /p>

Tilapia is a great source of Protein and if cooked right it's soft and easy to eat

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
