I can not consume any protein shake or bar. They simply make me sick. I mix 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup skim milk, and some sort of water mix packet. That equals about 38-40 grams of protein. My nutritionist said my homemade concoction is perfectly fine.

I am 3 months out and have not been able to stomach any sort of protein. I just got some of the Isopure ready to drink and they are tolerable. Still not something you jump up and run to the fridge for but tolerable. The blue raspberry is the most tolerable.

Hi, I have found that lean, thinly shaved ham is easy to eat as a snack and boosts the protien intake. I am 5 weeks out from surgery and can't stomach eggs still. Does anyone else have a problem with eggs, I used to have them regularly ( pre-op).

I have no problem with eggs.. Pasta tho, as a meal is an issue. I've only tried it once ( with chicken and mushrooms) and it was a no go!
