I am 2 weeks out from my sleeve and I am getting less than 20gm of protein a day.  How does everyone else get their 60 to 80?

Protein shakes were a must for me. I still have one a day to make sure I get enough protein in. I went online to Nashua Nutrition and ordered many samples to see what I like best. So far I have found the syntrax nectar in a few flavors I really like and chike protein coffee. I recommend that until you can eat enough to meet your numbers that you try to find one you like. Good Luck!

Thank you. I do drink a shake a day

 But only 18gm of protein.

So you are only drinking one shake a day for 18 grams of protein?  You said only getting less than 20grams a day right?  What else are you eating or drinking?  What stage of food are you currently on?

Hi there - I rarely got 60gms in early out. If you like milk at all - a big glass of skim milk over crushed ice was a life saver for me - depending on the size of the glass - 10gms of protein. A few times a day - added up. High protein oatmeal - not sure if you are allowed that, yogurt, and of course good old boost. I know it's difficult - but you will feel so much better if you can get the required protein. Best of luck!

Thank you, I don't care for skim but think I can do 1%.  I haven't been getting any protein in and I am just exhausted.

I was definitely not meeting protein goals at your stage.  It will come though.

I got the majority of my protein from protein shakes that I found on Amazon....they are called MET RX and have 51 grams of protein.  I would drink one of those in the morning and then have a pure protein protein shake I also got on Amazon which has 35 grams of protein.  http://www.amazon.com/MET-Rx-Protein-Plus-RTD-51/dp/B002XDRCX0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1433435527&sr=8-12&keywords=met+rx and http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Protein-Ready-Drink-Vanilla/dp/B002XULCB6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433435570&sr=8-2&keywords=pure+protein+shake

Thank you.  I will definitely look into that.  I can't take this exhaustion.
