I am really struggling to get my Protein allowance, is there protein supplement table ? I’ve found GCAA tablets that bodybuilders use to build muscle and loose weight that is really high protein, but don’t know if I can take it? Any advise would be great x

How much are you trying for daily?

I am currently getting at minimum 60g some days closer to 70; that comes from 2 Protein Drinks and Protein Water.

Some days its a struggle as is drinking all the water suggested; but I do focus more on meeting that protein goal!

Sorry I'm no more help on any other supplement ideas

I’m sick of Protein Shakes now, I am slowly drinking Protein Water but I don’t like it - I’m probably only getting about 20g a day. I need a miracle tablet for protein and I’m so worried about loosing my hair

Try mixing unflavored Protein Powder into the food you can eat.

What stage are you at? Can you eat broths or strained Soups yet? I didn’t like the shakes either (flavoured & unflavoured) - too grainy, coated my teeth & tasted blah - so glad when I could start on soups. I used to microwave the chocolate shakes to pretend they were real hot chocolate. Also used to add a dash of real vanilla to the vanilla shake to intensify the flavour. Diluting the mix helped a bit. Some suggest blitzing the shake with ice.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
