Like many bandsters I have a hard time getting in my protein. I am 10 days post op and just started the mushy food phase. I am so SICK of milky sweet protein shakes. I cannot wait to eat my protein...because those shakes make me want to gag :smile: Anyways, I headed on down to GNC today to pick up a bottle or two of Isopure (clear protein drink, 40g of protein per bottle). I took a sip...ick! It was too "proteiny". So when I got home I put a few tablespoons of it into water and bam! My nasty isopure turned into refreshing light tasting water drink.

I am hoping that If I add the full amount of the bottle into my regular water intake that will help me get in the majority of my protein without exercising my gag reflex.

Does anyone take the term "mushy" very liberally? I do. I am eating baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, yogurt, refriend beans, hamburger soup, sugar free popsicles, creamy soups....ect.

What do you think of this? Everything is going done fine. No pressure, no getting stuck. I do get full after 6-7 ounces of "food". Keep in mind that I chew it up so it is almost a liquid.

:wub:

Let me know what you think :scared2:

PS- should I just try Kellog's protein water powder packets? Maybe this would be cheaper...:thumbup::tt2:

I cannot stand the Isopure, but maybe if i add a little to water it wouldn't be so bad. The grape flavor is so sickly sweet, (with a really bad aftertaste) and i normally like sweet things! thanks for the tip!!
