Protein pills

I havent posted in awhile. Everything is going pretty good so far with me and my hubby. We both had the RNY in Sept. I have lost 40 lbs and hubby has lost 48lbs. :) Two months out thats not to bad. I am glad its going slower than I thought it would.

We have both been pretty busy  and are having a difficult time getting in the 70 grams of protein, even with doing the shakes.

My "lunch" ends up usually about 15 min when im working...not really enought time for slow eating and also If I try drinking shakes I usually just end up throwing 1/2 away because its not enough time to fini**** wihout hurting my pouch.

I was thinking about using protien pills.
I was wondering if anyone has tried protein pills? They seem pretty convient and would be easy to grab one for a quick lunch.

Thanks

Hey Janice, I have not tried them, but I would love to hear how that goes for you if you go with them. I am back at work part-time and I can only drink/eat on my 15 min once a night break. I usually try to do a protein bar and most of the time that works, but I have trouble because I can't drink like I do at home and I get really thristy. So I may start trying a protien shake instead of a protien bar and see if that works. Then I run into the problem of keeping it cold. Yes I can carry a cooler with ice packs, but the problem there is that they have to stay downstairs and by the time I get the elevator and get to it, I don't have time to drink it. It least if I took those protien pills, then I could at least drink on my break. What to do..........What to do.

I have never heard of protein pills before.  Where do you get them?  Do they taste good? 

 

I love my protein shakes.  I asked Tim, if he had to tell someone what my favorite foods are, what would they be?  He said Longhorns grilled shrimp, Chili's quesadilla explosion (chicken breast strips on salad) and at home:  MY PROTEIN SHAKES!  I love them.  I don't know what I would drink if I did not have them.  Probably would turn the world upside down looking for a good diet mocha frappuccino??  

Janice its hard in the beginning to get your protein in, but hang in there...  it gets better...  

Where can you find the protein pills?  I am 6 months out and still having problems getting in enough protein.

Thanks,
Janet
