Failing

[Thatsexy_67 32]

Hey crew!!! I am supposed to intake 73 grams of Protein a day and I am failing miserably!!! I'm a little over 4 weeks out and the Premier Protein shakes are way too sweet now. I try to get all my Water in but I get full soooooo fast. I don't know how I'm supposed to get that much protein when I can barely eat. Please tell me this will end soon.

Do you cook? Make some homemade Bone Broth Soups. You can get a good amount of Protein from the liquid broth and it's not sweet.

I also found on Amazon and BariatricPal Store some soups to mix with Water. They have high protein and taste OK

Have you tried smoothies made with fruit? Iso pure makes a wonderful flavor free Protein mix that can be mixed into smoothies, Soups, drinks, ect....i like the sweet stuff so all the birthdsy cake protein mixes work well for me. Fairlife has an ultra filtered milk that is higher in protein than regular milk too

The Protein waters are not as sweet as the shakes. I like Protein2O, myself. Still drink one every morning as I drive to work.

Protein2O has 15g of Protein per bottle

^^^ I second the FairLife Milk. I drink a glass a day, min. Its fairly low cal for 13 grams of protein per cup.

^^^ me too. I do skim fairlife. Also I bought Isopure unflavored powder and add it to Soups, my frozen pudding pops etc

Don't drink enough Water at one time to make you full. You only be taking sips every few minutes.

Agree with Protein2O as well. And I'll be getting some FairLife Milk, havn't tried it yet but the thought of a glass of milk sounds delicious.

Try sprouts veggie chocolate Protein with skim milk and crushed ice in a blender, (or Orgain or vega protein)

Not so cloyingly ssweet and that combo can get you 30-40g per pop. Sometime i mix cold brew coffee in too.

@Ellie123 told me about those sipping broths she got from Bariatric Pal ,think I am going to try those. I am sweet enough without the constant drinks, aren't I? LOL

Add whey powder to anything and everything. Make your drinks Protein Drinks. One bottle of Isopure Water gets you 40g of Protein before your day has even really started! A third cup of steel-cut oatmeal with Protein Powder, and you’re on your way!...

Isopure ready-made blue raspberry or punch diluted w crystal light lemonade. Bone Broth with veggies simmered in it and some cannelini Beans or lentils added.
