Getting your proteins

I was just wondering if there is another way to get protiene in the first two weeks besides the shakes? I have plenty to last me and I have three different favors but regardless of the flavor it's just so nasty it makes me want to puke. Any ideas or anything you can even do about it?

Well, can you eat enough food to get enough protein yet? I couldn't at two weeks.

I suggest trying some other shakes and playing around with how you make them. Check out the yummy recipes on bariatricfoodie.com.

Well my problem is I'm only 2 days post op and I'm pretty sure my surgeon said I had to do liquids for 2 weeks

Well, the only liquids I know that are high in protein are protein drinks.

Sure there is. Look at Nik's recipes for protein drinks and make that
protein taste yummy. Look at Bariatric Foodie and find the protein
drinks. You can add so much to them that you can surely find one
that meets your tastes. Too sweet?....add more milk or water.
Not sweet enough? Add sweetener or flavoring. I only use vanilla
protein powder now because I can make any flavor with it, and at
13 months out, I still have a warm protein drink every morning.
With cinnamon or all the flavorings available, sugar-free cocoa,
decaf flavored coffee mixes, chai teas etc....there's a world of
protein drinks just waiting for your creativity. Good luck!

Purchase some sf syrups like french vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, raspberry to add to your protein shakes. Add protein powder to hot chocolate mix (make a paste with cold water then add hot).

Greek yogurt (also add sf flavors or sweetner)

Milk with added powdered milk to up the protein

Put protein drinks in a cup that has a lid and spout so you don't smell the protein.

My full liquid diet included:

ricotta cheese

small curd cottage cheese mashed with a fork

SF pudding (add protein powder to it) Chocolate pudding with banana protein powder is WONDERFUL!

I like the isopure zero carb. It looks and tastes like kool aid and is very light. You can get it at GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe. It has 40 grams of protein per bottle!

I like the Nectar protein. It is thin when mixed. Do you like decaf coffee? I put a scoop of chocolate truffle or cappicino Nectar protein in 12 oz of decaf coffee. It has 24 gms protein per scoop. I buy it online. Also Vitalady sells samples of different proteins, so you won't waste money if you don't like it. Keep the protein you have, because in time your taste will change and you may like it.

I like a lot of these ideas my only thing is my doctor said I has to be on an unjury/bariatric advantage diet for two weeks and I'm only 3 days post op isthis someone I need to talk to him about or is it ok to venture as long as I stay with liquids and withing guidelines?
