I hear everyone who is fed-up with the protein shakes! I bought a 12 pack of the ‘liquid drink variety—Protein20, or Something like that because I just couldn’t tolerate the taste of the shakes constantly. These aren’t that much better because they’re kind of sickeningly sweet but the strawberry flavor is passable if I drink one every few days. They have 20 g of protein each. last night I had cream of broccoli soup, but I didn’t know how much to have because it wasn’t indicated in my program manual. So I slowly ate 4 ounces and it didn’t seem to bother me. Does that sound about right? I did pour a small Amount of the UNJury chicken broth protein powder in it and it didn’t Ruin the taste, thankfully. Question: Has anyone used the plain protein powders by adding them to soups or yogurt or pudding, etc, in order to maintain protein levels for each day? If so, which brand? I will do anything not to have to drink the shakes twice a day. Thank you.

My surgery was the 27th too! I have never been on a forum before….so, here goes! Looking forward (tomorrow) to being able to imbibe something other than protein shakes, water, Gatorade, and chicken-broth with protein! It has been a very long 4 weeks! Excited for low-fat creamed soup! Just wish That I didn’t have to return to work next week right as the ‘mushy food’ phase begins.
