So I am on 11 days post op and I have just been a little grumpy girl. .... everything and everyone annoys me so much, and I feel weak. I am not drinking enough protein and this I know for a fact, but I can't stand Isopure or unjury. And I barely finish 1 protein shake a day (about 30grams) does anyone have a better way to get protein? Is their protein capsules I can take? ? Also something to calm me down. ... I'm pretty sure my family and friends are tired of my crabbyness. Lol

You guys are all very very helpful! !! I would have never thought of all this on my own. ... even tho it's all common stuff. Lol thanks so much!

I am 12 days post op and in the same boat as you. I am getting nowhere near the protein and fluids I should be getting. I know I should get some unflavored protein but I've been too chicken. Afraid of how it will make things taste.

I bought unflavored three weeks ago and still too chicken to try it!

I know how you feel. But this is when I had the greatest loss. I love Syntax Nectar and Unjury

Strawberry. I also have unjury unflavored you can put it your soups. Protein help build muscles and help you recover from this Major Surgery. Feelings wise I totally get you. But it will pass. We are here

For you.

I know how you feel. I'm going on week 4 and cannot stand the taste of artificially sweetened anything including all my Protein shakes-Pure Protein 35g. Pre-op, I couldn't stand diet soda or any of the drink mixes and had long given up on regular soda after low carbing so many times.

I've been diluting my shakes with ice and almond milk and that's helped a little. I've also experimented with plain protein-Isopure unflavored-26g per scoop in my diluted shakes. I've put it in mashed potatoes and creamed Soups and even broth. I'm not doing all 26g at once in my soft foods--I tried that and mashed taters came out like pastey potato Soup, not good--but it helps me get some here and there. It doesn't seem to interfere with the taste of things.

Today I tried fresh strawberries Water and ice and a scoop of plain for Breakfast in the blender. It came out a little too foamy but it wasn't that bad and not overly sweet. Before that, I attempted a little Greek yogurt and just NO-too much Pink berry tang. I know I'm wasting a lot of powder with my trials but I'm determined to find something I can manage AND I've already saved so much on groceries and eating out so far anyway so it's a wash in my mind.

Long story short, you'll find someone that works. Hang in there and just keep experimenting.

If you can drink milk, I read that you can add dry milk powder to it to make "double milk" and double your protein.

Try this . NEW WHEY liguid protien shots. They are 3.8 oz tubes with 42 gr of protien. I do one in AM one in PM for a whopping 84 gr without all the mixing and drinking, They are thick and minimal after taste but I like getting it over with quick and spend my time drinking water . I can handle better than the rest. Walmart cheapest I have found by a dollar.
