Protein Question

I am trying to get all my protein in through food.  At the end of the day, I'll sometimes come up short by about 7 grams.  Is there a liquid protein I can take...like a spoonful to get the rest of my protein instead of doing an entrie shake?  Something that is approved and safe for bariatric patients, and if possible, it tastes good!!  Am I asking too much here.  Thanks.

This isn't about protein but I just went to Meijer and happened to see the Fage yogurt that I asked you about before.  Why is it they whoever "they is" say that it is is good for you.  It tastes good just seems high in calories and sugar or did I buy the wrong one? Thanks, Wendy

You're coming up shorter than you think.   Your body does not absorb every thing you eat.   Do a shake at least once a day, i recommend the matrix cookies and cream.     Linda

Linda, Thanks.  I guess I just have to bit the bullet and do a protein shake! Patti

 Do you not like protein shakes?   Order samples at bariatriceating.com and find one you like.   That's how i found mine.     Linda

Linda, Is the cookies and cream good?  do you mix it with milk? or can you use water? Just curious! I try to get in about 100 gms a day of protein shakes and food total....currently using unflavored Any Whey. Stacey W

cookies and cream is pretty sweet and has kind of like a coffe flavor to it.   I use ice and milk and it's a lot better than most.    Elite chocolate mint was my favorite but i got sick of it.   I make sure to get over 100 too.    I hear the new whey gourmet line is good, i think i'll try that as soon as it's available in samples Linda

I use ProStat to boost my protein... one little shot (like a medicine cup) has 15 grams of protein, so a shot in the morning and one in the evening (plus the protein-rich food i eat throughout the day) and I'm in pretty good shape... http://www.pro-stat.com/ you can buy it online through cvs.com

Hi Friend,      GNC has 50 grand slam premixed in can easy to use. I take half at a time; no nasty taste!!!! Linda is right I was told no matter what we eat our bodies don't digest it all! Please take care of yourself.. I hate protein too. This one is the easiest and most tolerable I have found.. Hugs, Judy R
