I was banded on Nov.2nd and right now I'm eating soft/mushy foods. I need help with getting my protein requirement in on this stage of recovery. Any advice or tips on anything will really be appreciated.

When I first started eating food after surgery I ate aton of salmon. Also canned tuna and canned chicken went down easy. Good luck!

Greek yogurt, riccotta cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, laughing cow cheeses. All good Proteins for mushie stage.

Good luck.

can i add refried beans (add ff shredded cheese/salsa) put in blender to mush and enjoy...i lived on this

I'm all about the protein drinks. There are several kinds at the grocery store. Be sure to read the label so that you don't get the ones high in sugar. I love, love, love Syntrax Nectar protein powder. It mixes well and one scoop has 24 grams of protein. You can get it from Amazon or the Vitamin Shoppe.

I PUREE EVERYTHING! If it is a low-fat high Protein meat it's in the Ninja getting pulverized.

I am really liking using hot italian turkey sausage or turkey meatballs with ricotta cheese and Pasta sauce! It is sooooo good!

Protein is power!!!!!

You got some really good advice. I also eat a lot of tuna and canned chicken. I also eat a lot of beans whole and refried. Look for low sodium choices. I personally dont like to drink my calories so I only do protein drinks when I have to. I do like the greek yogurt has around 16 in protein. Good Luck and congrats!

Thanks for all the great advice guys. I'm sure I'll be having more questions as my journey goes one.

Do any of you use an unflavored protein to add to your recipes?
