What protein supplements are you taking?



Recommended Posts

Premier Protein from costco gives you the most Protein for the least calories/money. chocolate, vanilla and strawberry with 30 grams of protein each. GNC shakes taste better, but only have 25 grams of protein.

I'm fourteen months out. I have a morning shake w/Chike high Protein coffee and crushed ice - delicious! It's like a Dunkin Donuts coffee coolatta and has two real espresso shots in it so it replaces my morning coffee. Added bonus: my chronic Constipation problem disappeared as soon as I began using it back in April.

I like CrunchO's Protein Snacks and occasionally I eat a Quest Protein Bar (at work or while shopping). I eat one Greek yogurt w/Bare Naked protein granola or a small amount of pecan pieces. Just those things daily put me between 45 - 55gr of protein. When I add my lunch and dinner it puts me well over 60gr but not usually over 90gr. My meals consist of tuna, shrimp, cheddar, egg whites, burger, turkey meatballs, or turkey chili - w/steamed veggies and a little (very little) brown rice, wheat Pasta, or Quinoa salad.

I'm 3 weeks post op. Right now I'm using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Premiere, Isopure and GENEPRO. I'm going to try and use up the first three (since I'm cheap) then switch to GENEPRO only (it's odorless and tasteless). I'm at 60g a day but my goal today is 90g. :)

I'm exactly 8 months to the day past my surgery. My surgeon said to take in 72 grams a day. It was difficult for me at first because I'm allergic to dairy and severely allergic to eggs. I also don't like the grit that I've found in most of the vegan Protein Shakes. I actually found a great vegan shake at Lifetime Fitness, you just can't let it sit for a while because it gets narly. I found a soy milk that has 7 grams per cup of Protein so I use it in coffee, too. The extra protein soy milk is the only way I can hit the 72 grams. chicken and tuna at lunch or dinner also helps, as does pork.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
