Protein protein protein!



Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out how to get in 60 to 80 grams of Protein a day.

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

Please and Thank you!

Oops! Let me add I am 10 days post op!

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.

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..

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
