There is alot of Protein in lentils and black Beans which I eat tiny portions of through the week. I have some black Beans in the crock pot right now.

Exactly as @Orchids&Dragons said. beans and lentils are good, but they are not very Protein dense compared to other sources. "tiny portions" throughout the week is not going to make a dent your protein needs.

I get it, Protein Shakes, Water, etc., don't taste great. But you really don't want to go very long depriving your body of protein.

The Protein waters are easier to get down, imho. They're still quite sweet, so I Water them down or add ice. But both the waters and the shakes counts toward both your Fluid and your protein requirements.

They tasted awful maybe I’ll try to Water it down like you I’m getting fluids from the water/ crystal light and one Protein Shake

Have you tried Protein2O? It actually had no Protein taste at all to me, I really liked the flavors I tried.

And they do sell it at Walmart, at least my,local,one does The Pure Protein waters, maybe Sams Club or costco. Also check Meijer, Target, Kroger, Winn Dixie whatever else,you might,have around, failing that Bariatric Pal Store and last resort Megopolis Amazon. I'd much,rather enrich Alex Brecher's wallet --who,looks out for us here than Amazon,who just lives for profit. But that may just be my viewpoint,on the subject. It is still a country with free choice.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
