The best way to know if you have had your requirements  for protein for the day, the best best best way is to get on My Fitness Pal and track there.  I know, I know, you hate tracking..... BUT it is probably the easiest most effective tracking device I have ever ever used.  I am a total addict.  Getting yourself set up takes a little time (like this website) but if you can persevere with MFP, it is so easy to know your levels.

I have found it most helpful further out as I use it for a deterrent for eating things I probably shouldn't.  I plug temptations into my daily total and then see how it affects my totals ( I had two dainties at a funeral the other day, came home and put them in and almost died myself as they totaled over 500 calories, if I had  put it in before I actually consumed the dainties, I probably would have stepped back, found some grapes or something lol ) Times like that I wish I had a cell phone that had apps that I could record with.  You could add friends (me) and we can look at each other's menu's (that is a privacy setting you can choose or not) it's kinda facebooky in that respect.

 

I did a quick search from the top of this page (in the blue tool bar strip there is a "search" area that I used.  I found some just to give ideas on what can be found online.  I just copied and pasted a couple:

Protein Shake Guidelines for Various Stages of Weight Loss Surgery

• Pre-weight loss surgery: Use 4 oz skim milk/yogurt + 4 oz water as the base for your protein shake recipes.
• Post-weight loss surgery: (first 1-3 weeks post surgery): Use 2 oz skim milk/lactaid milk/yogurt + 2 oz water as the base and gradually increase to 8 oz total. You'll likely be able to tolerate only a sip or two at a time in the beginning.

Pretty sure you need to be in their program 1st

Can you attend the meetings even if you aren't in the bariatric program? My BMI is 58 so I'm not too far from meeting 55.

Boost is on sale this weekend at Pharmaplus for $7.99. Also Costco has an awesome ready made shake called Premier Protein Shakes with 30 Grams of protein. I am 10 weeks out and still drink one almost every day. They taste almost like chocolate milk. I didn't like the beneprotein either. I found it had a yucky taste. I also didn't care for the protein powders although I do mix vanilla protein powder into Greek yogurt and it's a great hit of protein.
