Ok. I had my 4 week check up (via phone call). I told my surgeon that I didn't feel like my weight loss was going good. He agreed that it's not as good as it should be. After talking with him. I realize I'm not getting in my protein. I've been so focused on eating 4oz of protein. I wasn't thinking of getting 60g of protein a day ?‍♀️ What do y'all eat to get the full amount in? The shakes are making me nauseous now. I'm still on soft foods. So stuff like 2 eggs only give me 12g of protein. 4oz Refried beans only give me 6g. Im not sure how to get the protein in with out over eating. This is so confusing to me. Im a picky eater so this makes it even harder for me.

I STILL have a 30 gram protein shake EVERY morning, as soon as I get out of bed at 5am! I am ALMOST 1 year out!! The shake is super convenient! I feel like is at least "halfway" to my protein goal for the day (and BTW, my nutritionist is completely on board with it!)

Cheryl, if you’re still experiencing pain when you ingest anything else but protein shakes at 7 months out, you should tell your surgeon. There may be something wrong with the post-surgery anatomy.

Never heard of this brand of milk. I'll have to look into it.

Fairlife also makes high protein milk - It's available skim, 1%, 2% and whole.

Chili, also you can make protein pudding
