    Default 21 days out- protein help! Please

    I seriously need advice and encouragement. I am scared I will get really sick. I did my follow up visit with surgeon last week and was advised I was protein deficient I was advised by a stand in NUT during a preconsultation that I could take new whey during phase II. That was not true and made me sick.

    New whey tasted it horrible but was only a few ounces. I have tried several proteins they make my sick or they are a lot to consume.

    *Protein I've taken*
    Unjury unflavored
    Chike - chocolate
    Synergy - fuzzy navel
    Premier- chocolate
    Premier - Carmel too sweet

    Please provide insight about other proteins advice!!

    I am at phase 3 and can eat some items but still not enough to meet 65 grams of protein per day.

    Are you confined to protein shakes for your protein at 21 days out? If so, that's very, very, very unusual.

    At 21 days post-op I had long been eating small amounts of chicken, Greek yogurt, mashed beans, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, etc. And drinking skim milk. (I was also drinking protein drinks -- my all-time fave is the GNC Lean 25 swiss chocolate shake. Love it!

    Good luck.

    I eat the Pure Protein bars from Walmart. I obtain the 5-pack high protein ones for $4.97. Each bar has 30 grams of protein, so you can eat two of these each day to easily reach your threshold of 60+ grams of protein.

    I've been eating cottage cheese, yogurt...and premier shakes for quite awhile. I'm just coming up on week 4 (surgery June 16th). I am getting sooo much protein I am getting really really constipated.
    I'm eating eggs now...and just started on some tuna/shrimp/clam chowder/salmon....
    What is the deal with you not getting enough? Do you get sick? Do you not like anything you've tried?

    Have you tried making your own protein shakes without the protein powders?

    1 cup Greek nonfat yogurt plain
    1 cup skim milk
    Egg whites from two PastuRaised eggs
    Fresh or frozen fruit of your choice
    A drop or two of Stevia (or honey though not recommend since we need to watch carbs)
    HW: 245lbs (11/15); SW: 226lbs (5/17/16) - Height: 5'6"

    Post-Op Weight:
    M1: 211.3 (-14.7)
    M2: 203 (-8.3)
    M3: 196.5 (-6.5)
    M4: 191.5 (-5)
    M5: 186.3 (-5.2)

    Yes all the proteins listed make me gag or sick to my stomach. The chocolate Premier is ok. I get very weak and fatigue easily. I know the lack of protein is the problem.

    Are you making your own shakes with the protein powder or trying to gag down the premixed yucky stuff?

    You could try Bariatric Choice site, they have a variety pack with like 10 different flavors, i'm sure you would find one you like there.
