I am still unable to stomach the protein shakes/powders...I have tried making pudding with it, I have tried putting the unflavored in soup, etc...I ordered a hot chocolate protein drink yesterday so I will try that. Any other suggestions?? I know I need it and I'm only able to eat about 20-30 grams a day. HELP!!!

What eating stage are you on? When I was at six weeks I was starting soft foods - I know every doctor is different, though.

For Protein, I had the HARDEST with protein powders. I couldn't - and still can't (at over a year) - tolerate them. AT ALL. I've heard a lot of people had success with nectar and a few others. You really have to play around with them to find one that you like and can tolerate. If you go to health food stores or nutrition centers, a lot of times they'll have samples for sales, and some places will actually mix you a shake right there.

I am 5 weeks out and can eat pretty much anything...I got 50 grams in yesterday with just food. I cannot tolerate any Protein drinks either...

I hope I make it to five weeks without losing and hair or teeth! I'm 15 days PO and can't tolerate the protein shakes any longer. I did go to Smoothie King and tried a kids size smoothie with protein in it. I did get most of it down but towards the end of it, it got hard to tolerate. Ive tried grits, oatmeal, quoina, soups..... I want to chew on something so I even tried rice crisps. The sea salt ones helped but there's really no nutritional value in them. I need protein cause I'm really feeling weak and tired everyday.
