Can you give me an example of your day and how you get your protein in?

Please and Thank you!

I drank 2 premier protein shakes a day for total of 60 grams of protein the first few weeks. Once on solid food at 5 weeks I was able to get protein from fish, turkey, chicken etc but still have one shake to supplement. At 4.5 mths out I can't eat enough protein. Many folks use unflavored protein powder to add to solid foods. My goal for protein is now 70 grams a day and get that most of the time.

What is your eating schedule like, if you don't mind my asking?

At 4.5 mths out, I have a Protein shake for Breakfast. It keeps me full for 3 hrs or so along with constantly drinking liquids throughout the day. I eat lunch of mostly protein, may have a protein snack in afternoon and then dinner around 7.

I don't eat on an exact schedule and some days I can eat more than on others. I always have liquid to drink except with meals.

At 10 days out , I sipped Water and drank protein all day. As you heal and swelling goes down, you will begin to figure what works best for you. And make adjustments as you go.

At ten days post op it was 3 Premier Protein shakes for me. 90 grams of protein.

I got tried of Premier Protein really quick... No now I try to drink two cups of Fairlife Fat Free milk with sugar free chorale mixed in... And a scoop of GENEPRO Protein mixed in as well... It's odorless and tasteless. You can also put it in yogurt..

At 10 days post op, I was using an unflavored protein powder mixed in beverages and/or broth.

My nutritionist suggested Protein shots

I add a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder to everything to boost the protein. I scoop has 10 grams. It's lists cheaper in the canisters than the packets.

I scoop in 8oz of 1% milk is 28 grams of protein and 270 calories. I can only drink 4oz at a time.

Also add it to bone broth, but it can't be hotter than 140 degrees or it clumps up.

I mix it with yogurt and cottage cheese 1scoop per cup ahead of time.

Sometimes in V8 juice... I do miss veggies.

There are probably other brands of unflavored protein out there.

I do something similar. I use 5oz fairlife and 5oz fairlife chocolate with 1tbs genepro and 1tbs PB2. Tastes kinda like a Peanut Butter cup.
