Hi everyone!

Post surgery, I will be on a liquid diet for approximately 10 days. I don't want to have just Protein Shakes, so wanted to inquire about how you guys made high Protein broths. I've tested a great homemade Bone Broth (using chunks of been bones as my dad is a meat cutter), but don't want to eat that all the time everyday. I found another recipe that calls for TrueNutrition Beff Isolate Protein, and Egg White Protein. Has anyone used that brand before? What about those specific types of Protein Powder? I've only used whey products to date.

Additionally, anyone have any recipes to share? I've tried the boxed versions they sell and they were not for me.

I didn't because many of the "bone Protein powders" are made primarily with hydrolyzed collagen and other Proteins that don't carry the full spectrum of 9 essential amino acids. The only 3 that my surgeon recognize and wants us on are: whey, egg, or soy.

But I used unflavored protein and added it to homemade Bone Broth. It tasted lovely and gave a break from the sweets!

You're so lucky to have a meat cutter in your fam!!

I found a variety of powdered bone broths at my local TJmaxx/Home goods that gave me a bunch of variety. That said don't kid yourself you are still going to be getting most of your Protein by choking down those damned shakes. Try cutting the shakes with unflavored protein or peanut powder if the shake flavor is complementary (I'm fond of banana Protein Shakes with the PB powder).

Add unflavored Protein mix to your broth. I get mine at GNC. GENEPRO micronized protein. It dissolves very easy because it's very fine.

The Protein Shakes are driving me crazy, I am going to go postal/Facebook soon. Do not buy vanilla flavored Premier Protein shakes. Trust mem

1/2 premier protein+decaf coffee 2x a day makes me happy :) I can live with with drinking 1 whole a day, but don’t want to do more than that if I don’t half to

Although I'm not a big vanilla fan, I used the Premier Protein vanilla instead of Creamer in my chai tea - delicious!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
