I am 11 days post op and I am have a very hard time getting all my protein in. The best I've done is around 40 grams and my worst day has been around 12 grams. I am starting to worry about it.

Can you buy some protein shakes? It's hard but REALLY important that you get enough protein in - it's what helps your body heal :-)

I am lactose & tolerant so I have to use soy protein and all I can find is vanilla flavored. I was able to drink them b4 surgery & the flavor was fine but now I gag every time I drink them. I'm trying some syntax (I think that's what it is) protein today it's lactose free. Idk just trying to figure it all out.

Try egg whites. I add them to a flavored drink. It adds protein, and to me it taste no different.

I'll have to look for these. Thank you!

When I was on the mushy stage, I used to squizz up some chicken breast meat with some cottage cheese, salt and pepper. it tasted so nice (and much better than shakes) and was a real protein boost as both are a good source.
