Trouble getting my protein in

I am still in full liquids, and I am really having trouble getting protein in. All of the protein powders say to add 8-16 oz of water or milk. I can barely take in 3 oz every 2 hours. Any tips on how to get it in?

    I love me some Premier Protein drinks! I'm nearly a month out and I'm drinking one now. They come pre-mixed, so you don't have to worry about mixing powders or anything with them. My favorite is th

  • Hi Amanda, congratulations on your surgery. I am day 5 out and I have found it takes me about 1 - 2 hours to get a 'meal' in so sip sip sip! I put my drink in a flask and just sip away at it; normal

Rebellious butterfly - yes, in WA it's what we are recommended to get by the dietician. It goes through every single stage of diet including the pre op diet and it has delicious recipes in it. Just google it - I'm sorry, I can't seem to ad the picture. Does anyone know how to ad a pic from the desktop? I see the option to ad an image URL but everytime I try to do that it tells me 'not allowed'.

thank you so much, we actually follow this at northwestern

That is way too much protein for ANY sleeve patient. 60-80 g is the max you should have. Too much protein is hard on your kidneys and sleeve patients cannot get in enough water to protect the kidneys from damage. This information is from my surgeon.

at the hospital I'm at 120 is the highest

I love the snack size premier protein chocolate fudge from SAMs club so good and all I can drink without wasting so perfect size! 18 grams of protein!

Amanda I found a great protein powder that has 30 g in just 4 oz of water called max pro found at max muscle

I just tried the Lean Shake 25 by GNC. It is really good! I bought three flavors: Banana Cream, Strawberry and chocolate. The banana is really good. Its really light unlike the thick shakes I have tried. I am going to try to get in at least 50g of protein today. Thank you everyone for your help.

I have chocolate and chocolate peanut butter of this brand and they are very good! I thought they'd be awful! Someone told me for more of a peanut butter taste to can also put PB2 in it. I think that will add more flavor and protein. PB 2 is awesome too. Tastes wonderful!

I put a tablespoon of PB2 in one of my Premier Protein drinks. I couldn't drink it, it tasted really bad to me. So now, I have this almost new can of PB2 and I won't be using it unless I can come up with something else to put it in.

I have chocolate pb2.....I think it tastes better. You can try adding some cocoa and some sweetener and see of that helps. Dip apples and celery in it!
