Began Full Liquids Today And Struggling With Protein!

[oconnell 8]

I never thought I wouldn't be able to finish an Atkins shake. Seriously. But I can't. I know it's par for the course and over the next few days my stomach will acclimate, etc., but if I can't finish a Protein Shake, I'm worried I won't get enough Protein overall. And for the record, I do have a box of assorted nectar and Unjury packs, but I thought I'd start off with an atkins shake this morning to see how it went.. ugh!

I'm struggling too. I drink Carnation Instant brakfast no sugar added with 8 ozs of milk. The program I went through says to work up to 60 grams. It takes time. Hang in there. I keep telling myself, "one sip at a time". Hope this helps.

Thanks. I'm headed to the grocery in a bit and am making a list of stuff to pick up. I'll def. add carnation to the list!

Hi,

I felt the same way about almost all the shakes and Protein powder. For me Atkins and Pure Protein were the only ones I could tolerate. Now LOVE the Atkins and Pure Protein Shakes because I doctor them up. I swear to you it feels like I'm cheating!

Here is one of the shakes I just recently made. There are so many things to do to doctor them up ...once I realized that I'm sure I can handle the liquid diet. Now I am still concerned about the clear liquid stage because there is not much to work with to doctor that up. But I believe that is only for a few days.

I just put everything in a blender and they come out awesome!

1 Atkins Cafe Caramel shake

1/4 banana

1 tablespoon sugar free banana Cream pudding

1-2 tablespoons plain Greek Yogurt

1/5 cup of Hood low carb milk

1/2 teaspoon of Coconut Extract

3 ice cubes

I just finished my morning shake---

Atkins French vanilla shake

1/4 banana

1 tablespoon chocolate sugar free pudding mix

1/2 cup Hood lowfat milk

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons unjury unflavored Protein Powder ( just to boost the protein grams)

3 cubes of ice
