Question:
Protein supplements
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get protein without having to drink protein shakes with milk? — CourtCourt2009 (posted on March 23, 2010)

I could not get the protein drinks down, so I ate baby food meat(add
seasoning),and deli sliced meat,(paper thin sliced)untill I could eat the
real meat again.I,m just about 3 months out,and lost real well,check
profile.my labs,were perfect,and no longer have diabetes.

There are flavored clear protein drinks, ISOPURE is one, also,there are
non-flavored protein powders you can add to water or Crystal light. Look
at you local GMC or Vitamin shops for other options as well. Good luck.

YES!! I hate shakes. Get the unflavored Unjury and mix it with Crystal
light. I mix 20 oz water with two scoops unjury (40g protein) and two
individual crystal light packs like fruit punch. Then I pour it over a full
glass of ice and use a straw to sip on that all day. Keep adding ice
because it is better cold and you will get in your protein and liquids!
Also at Bariatric choice.com they have a hot chocolate that is awesome and
has 15g protein. Hope that helps!

Be careful, you must get in 60 grams of protein a day. Plus, my doctor
told me never to use a straw. For me it was a trail and error with shakes,
I found Max Pro from GNC and I like it. My doctor also said that there
isn't enough protein in baby food, food for thought. This is a very rough
procedure, I feel for you.

i use isopure o carb o sugar. iuse it in almost every thing.chike is good
but lower in protein, +it has some carbs. iam diabetic so i watch my carbs
and sugar very closely. isopure can be bought on the internet for about
$68in a 7 1/yhis is much more economical.if you are going to use this for
the long haulbuy in quantity. it mixes well with coffee,water soup,
oatmeal, potatoes, with a slite vannila taste.most pritein shakes are
expensive and they are volumess my case volume is a problem.i'm 16 weeks
out down 90+lbs no complications what soever . good luck i hope this
helps.

apparently some people can't read. The best way to get your protein in is
meats, fish, eggs and cheeses. Chewing to a mush will actually make you
less hungry and last longer in your new stomach. Thus less frequent eating.
Our bodies will ony absorb 32 grams of protein every three hours. So
anything above 32 is kicked out and just wasted calories your intaking.

Greek yogurt,eggs,pureed meats, cottage cheese, baked or broiled white
fish, tuna, boiled chicken, etc....I ate all of the above the first week
after surgery, but still needed a protein supplement for 3 mos. Protein
powders did not agree with me...The ONLY protein supplement I could handle
was Isopure clear/no carb bottles...I sipped on one bottle daily and ate as
much real food for protein as i could...After 3 mos I stopped drinking
protein and went on to lose 150 lbs which I have kept off for the last 6
years.
