Options for Liquid Stage
It was a must that I purchase whey protein and I was able to find it in Vanilla. I usually add a half scoop to my cream of wheat and it's great!

Protein intake worries
My surgery was 7/24 and I am currently on my liquid phase. Everything is going well but I do have a struggle with completion of my 80 g of protein a day! I totally understand the importance of protein in this vital step but I have a hard time getting all the grams in. By the end of the day, I can't stand the look of food. Anyone have any suggestions?
