i am new to this!

i am so glad the i found a forum for weight loss surgery in your 20's!  i just wanted to take the time to introduce myself, my name is christina and i am 23 i just had rny on the 31st and i feel great, no sickness or pain really what so ever. I am finding it hard to get my protein in the only thing i have seemed to like so far is th isopure which has 40grams, i dont really like the protein mixed with food! does anyone else have that problem?

Sorry I am still preop but I wanted to make sure I said “Welcome to 20sOH" it’s a great group! Good luck on your journey.

 Welcome!  

There are a lot of good posts on here about not getting enough protein, so search around for some old posts on the topic...you'll get some good answers.

welcome this is a good group no question is a bad question so ask away.

Hi. I hate most protein mixes. But I got the body fortress that walmart sells. And I'm able to make a coffee mix and drink it. A lady off of the RNY board had posted a recipe for it but I changed it up some and this is how I make mine now. I take about 20 oz of really warm water and add a scoop of protein powder to it then I take 2 TBSPs of instant decaf coffee and add to that then I take a TBSP splenda and add to that then I shake it up. I use a plastic bottle to mix my stuff with. Then I'll take 4 oz milk and add to that and reshake. You can drink it warm or add ice. I think it is very good.

Hi, welcome!
I wasn't a fan of the couple of Isopures I tried, I do however like the Unjury Chocolate. I'm gonna try and mix the Unjury unflavored in with jello, should be pretty good I think.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench and to OH 20's!  We're glad you found us as well.  As someone else said, I also used Body Fortress after surgery.  It's sold at Wal-Mart and at Target but couldn't tell you where else.  i couldn't mix it with food either but had a great time mixing up my own shakes!

Since you are so new out of surgery, getting all your protein in will be hard but just keep trying and doing as your surgeon's office has instructed and call them if you have any questions or worries.

 coffee, blenderized ice, sugar free pudding mix, almond extract, crystal light, half a banana, splenda...these are just a few tricks up my sleeve for getting that protein down. I'm lucky, cuz I don't really mind (except the myoplex makes me gag). I'm a chocolate lover, and the best I've found for quick and easy is glucose control boost. experiment, it's the most fun you will have with food for awhile!

I too am an xtina. So secular, like Xmas. I love it! Welcome to the board and welcome to the loser's bench!

hey xtina! 
welcome!! we are surgery sisters kinda hahah i had mine the day before yours!!

so i was scared of the whole idea of protein shakes and what not myself and i went to gnc and found the 100% whey cookies and cream! it is delicious and the great part of gnc is if you dont like any flavor you buy- YOU CAN RETURN IT! 
so fabulous!

btw i also like protein powder mixed with oatmeal. its really yum!

good luck!
