Protein Alternatives



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any idea if there is a supplement we can take in lieu of the shakes. They're making me sick and I cannot stand the disgusting Protein Powder. I am 1 week and a few days out and I'm struggling to get the Protein in. I just can't take the taste of the shakes anymore.

The shakes sort of *are* a supplement. Are you on soft or pureed food yet? If so, you might be able to do Yasso bars (frozen greek yogurt), pureed/finely blended Soup, potatoes, Beans, bunch of protieny stuff.....Call your dietician on Monday and get some suggestions...they're great at problem solving.

At a week out I was having greek yogurt and blended lenti Soup for Protein. Hummus too. Some of this depends on what you're allowed to have. Bone Broth is another option.

Have you tried Protein Water? I prefer the protein20 but there is also Premier Protein water but I found that terribly sweet.

      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! 😞
