Cant Get Enough Protein Down…

Just started phase 2 full/purée foods. I had a protein water, water melon, scrambled eggs and a pudding. All together I've had about 16grams of protein. My dietitian said I should be taking in about 70! What do I do? All the protein shakes are discusting to me. Even my chewable multi vitamin makes me gag. I don't know what to do. Is there a protein pill I can take or something. I'm only 14 days post op. help please.

  • Maybe you could try some premade protein shakes, they dont have that whey smell or taste as much as the powdered ones.

Some protein powders are unflavored...the only one I've found so far is by "unjury"....you could possibly mix that in your soups/purees? I hope so, as I am planning on trying that after my surgery. Best of luck to you!

I've heard people say they mixed the protein powder into their pudding maybe you could try that? Or buy some unflavored and add it into soups/broths

That's my problem also, this is day 6 for me and like 10g all this time water and tea. Nothing's working

Thankfully I don't mind the vanilla ice-cream whey from Costco. 35 grams of protein in one cup. I mixed with soy milk which also adds protein. Also pureed roast beef with a few cooked carrots, added broth to thin it and the beef gives more protein to your day.

Www.fatchickgonewild.blogspot.ca for my sleeve journey....I'm 12 days out.

I like the unjury chicken broth it taste like mrs grass lipton soup mix without the noddles. I think its really good just mix it with warm water and its 21gram of protein. And for protein shakes I haven't found any I like yet from the store. My Dr. required me to order shakes for my pre-op diet and they were good but pricy it was Better MD and they were like $12 for 7 packets but you can make them into pudding or shakes. The chocolate was really good. Good luck I know its hard to get that protein in I'm getting 60-65gm in.

The only premade protein I can drink in premier protein from Sams Club. It reminds me of a yoo-hoo. I do like to make my own shakes with unflavored protein powder, sugerfree pudding, and fruit.

I tried the unjury unflavored and it smelled like old bad chicken. I am too having an issue with the Protein. It was suggested as before for the premixed shakes. I can tolerate the Isopure rtd in fruit flavors, but they are $5 a bottle and 1 bottle is about 40 g of protein. At $35 per week the cost added up fast. I can't take the chewable Vitamins as they are soo sickly sweet. I have been opening a capsule onto a spoon and swallowing it with sugar free cool whip. My biggest issue is that the protein shakes are so sickly sweet. I have not tried the unjury chicken broth protein yet. I have made an effort to eat my protein as much as possible and have been using myfitnesspal.com to track my intakes.

I know for myself I don't want to eat anything and am making every effort.
