No More Protein Shakes/smoothies?

My good friend who was sleeved in June and has been somewhat slow in weight loss got this same directive. She is to avoid all "sliding" Proteins as well as what we think of as regular sliders, so…no Protein shakes, no yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. Even though they are good Protein sources, the thought is they are not filling her up the way harder Proteins would.

yep, I still do a shake in the morning for breakfast. It's ok with my nutritionist though. I guess everyone's requirements and "ok" foods are kind of all over the place. Actually, I am totally off caffeine so if I run out of Protein shakes and don't have one in the morning I feel kind of sluggish. I do the Premier Protein snack size. It's 8 oz, 100 cal., and 18g Protein.

I'm more than two years out, and I still drink Protein shakes. I really like them as a way to reach my Protein goal (70) when I am low but don't want to add a lot of calories. I like the EAS vanilla and strawberry flavors (and price). They are 100 calories and 17 grams of protein in just 11 ounces. I also still eat Protein Bars.

I find the shakes and bars are really helpful when I have a busy day and am on the go. It keeps me from going to a fast food place. I love that I can now buy Protein drinks at most gas stations.
