I go to Starbucks and get their banana chocolate Vivano it has protein and fiber 2% milk and a whole banana it is great! I am a year and a half out went from 233 to 120. I have maintained my size 4/6 for 8 months now so I believe I am done!

You should try a protein shake. I am 7 months out. I have lost 82 pounds. I buy a protein shake from Vitamin Shoppe. It will give you 35 grams of protein in one shake. They are excellent! I drink one of these a day. They come in Chocolate, Vanilla and banana Cream. They are call Pure Pro Shakes. These will help, they did me when I was just a few weeks out like you. Good Luck! It will get better.

| Eat your protein first, if you can stomach milk, drink it and add some powdered milk to it as that will significantly up the protein. I found that string cheese was great for snacking as it was conviently packaged in one ounce portions, and a decent source of protein. Peanut butter is high in protein and so are dried beans. Just a few suggestions off the top of my head -- hope it helps! Merry

I had gastric bypass 3 weeks ago.I have lost 22 lbs. I am now on the soft diet. I am having a very hard time getting enough protein in every day. I feel I eat and drink all I can but still find myself with only 50G-60G or so of protein a day.I try to eat 1/4 cup at mealtime but even that is not an easy thing to do. Maybe I am not eating the right foods? Any suggestions?
