As you may know I have been struggling with the dreaded horrors of protein powders this first week post-op. Struggle no more! I have finally found the combination that works and that is so tasty it would be happily slurped by a non sleeved person.

1 packet beef boullion protein powder - 15g's

1 can french onion soup - 2g's

6oz low sodium beef broth - 2g's

I strained out the onions from the french onion, heated the liquids, then added them to the powder, et voila: 10 ounces of a tasty satisfying broth with 19 g's of protein. It took over an hour to sip it all but for once that time was a pleasure and not a cruelty. yay! I will be cleaning out the shelves at the grocery tomorrow for french onion!

wow.. where do you get the beef bouillon protien powder?

from my surgeon, he sent me home with a variety pack of protein powders; beef boullion, chicken boullion, raspberry iced tea, hot cocoa, and they all have 15g's of protein.

thanks! I am off to do some more searching then!!!

what brand were the samples?

I haven't tried these but I am calling on Monday.

You have to call to get samples, I think you just pay for shipping:

PrescriptFit, Medical Nutrition Therapy and Weight Loss Plan

The brand for my protein powders from the surgeon is Healthwise; 15g's protein and the beef boullion is pretty good, especially when mixed like I said with french onion and liquid beef broth.

Thanks for posting. I'm in my fourth week out but still have to supplement protein with a protein shake or two depending on what I eat. Yesterday I gagged and decided no more protein shakes. This recipe came at a great time. Hopefully won't have to supplement much longer.

Nashua Nutrition

I found this website that has the Health Smart Beef Bullion. They have lots of Protein supplements, Vitamins, etc. at what appears to be great prices. I think I will try ordering from Nashua as I looked at some Bariatric vitamins on another website and they cost twice as much for the same thing. Hope this helps.
