I'm lacking in protein big time. Need help asap.

Don't want to loose my hair!

At that stage I could not tolerate baby food because of its blandess and lack of seasonings. My boyfriend (who has extraordinary kitchen skills and cooks Mediterranian style because he is from Malta) would just take what he prepared for his meals (minus carb heavy ingredients like bread) and put some in the blender with real chicken broth, Water, or milk to thin it out. He would also add some Protein powder in a compatible flavor.

Just this evening we took some ricotta cheese and blended it up with an 85% chocolate bar, and a package of chocolate pudding mix. This is one of those foods that will mask the flavor of my pulverized Bariatric Advantage AE stinka** horse pill Vitamins. The bleder and food processor have been used way more since my surgery.

Many companies make a flavorless Protein powder. This would be something to stir a little into what you are eating. I would not necessarily stir a whole scoop, but a teaspoon or two would not change the taste too drastically. That way you are sneaking in more protein without even realizing it. I know powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes a flavorless powder. I am sure there are plenty of other brands that do as well.

What are you eating? I was getting all of my protein from day 5 on, even in full liquid stage. Here were some of my favorites.....protein shakes made with milk for extra protein, refried beans, scrambled eggs, deviled ham, cottage cheese, soft cheeses, plain Greek yogurt flavored with protein powder, pureed tuna fish with a little mustard, pureed split pea soup and and bean soup. And I mixed unflavored protein powder in EVERYTHING....mashed potatoes, lobster bisque, oatmeal, cream of asparagus, egg drop soup, baby food, broths, etc.

I too pureed everything. Being a vegetarian it was a bit of a challenge. I found that CVS whey powder had 26 grams of Protein. So every morning I started with a shake made with unsweetened almond milk and a scoop of almond butter. It was a nice boost to start the day, clocking on at 31 grams of protein.

I also used prosource noncarb Liquid Protein. I'd but the neutral flavor and add it to herbal tea. Moving onto food, I made a soft scrambled egg with a tiny bit of shredded cheese and a tsp of 0% plain greek yogurt. Once a week I made Soups using Beans or root veg like squash or sweet potato, spinach and corresponding protein powders. I mixed salsa with greek yogurt, or mashed a bit of fresh fruit and had that with greek yogurt. I also had plain veg broth at night as a treat if I made my protein goal throughout the day.

Even now I prefer to start my day with a Protein Shake. I usually woke out in the mornings and the big protein boost give me enough energy to work out but isn't too heavy on my stomach that I get sick.

I have Greek yogurt, mashed potatoes, chicken soup and I found this amazing black bean hummus so I mix it with roccotta and chicken. And protein shakes I feel like it's not enough.

try adding more variety. If you eat fish try tuna in water, try ground turkey instead of chicken, if you eat eggs, try soft scrambled eggs. a mild salsa or chutney adds a bit of change to meats and egg. I also recommend a nutra bullet or blender of some kind. It will help if food are too chunky for you at this stage.
