I'm struggling to get all my protein



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 2/7. I've been cleared for soft foods (moist fish, chicken, etc) and can start adding in anything I can tolerate (except tough meats) on Friday. I'm eating well. My Nut and Dr. Have me on high Protein, low carbs. They both say to continue with Protein shakes for a while with my foods to get in 70-80 grams a day. I was doing fine with shakes, but the past few days it takes everything in me to get them down. I thought it might be the milk, but I've tried the syntax nectar lemonade today and I can't get past the smell.

Any helpful hints? I've tried adding Peanut Butter, for anti syrups, PB2, etc, but then the shakes are thick or too sweet.

I would suggest getting some Unjury unflavored Protein Powder.< /p>

I have been drinking the New Whey Liquid Protein. its 3.4 oz and has 42g of Protein in it. You drink it in a couple of sips. Good flavors also. I buy mine off of Amazon but i think you can get it anywhere.

I use the GNC Pro Performance whey Protein to fortify Greek Yogurt. You can also eat the canned corned beef hash if you chew it really well. It has a ton of sodium, but is a different flavor profile for when you get really tired of your usual foods. I have found that the boredom with the food comes and goes, so just switch things up a bit and you can probably go back to the shakes in a day or two.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
