I tried like crazy yesterday, but it didn't happen.

Tfarr...all of the protein shakes were making me very nauseuas and the powders made me vomit. My Dr was recommending the milk as an alternate for me because I can drink milk all day long! He told me the anecdote about the nutritionist who preferred plain old milk to protein shakes/powders. It was a simply a short story that was very appropriate for my situation. I think that when I get into the next stage of eating (I'm 7 days post op) I can very easily round out my protein with food besides shakes/powders.

Who told you that you could have nuts!! That's awesome! My dr will NOT let me have nuts, but he did recommend drinking milk in place of the Protein shake/powder mixes because they make me nauseuas. He recommends protein shakes and powders and is a great doctor aside from the not letting me have nuts situation. So unfair.

I'm sorry. Were you being serious about "nuts". If I read right, the post was referring to the nutritionist (nut). Not food nuts.

If I got it wrong, then my eyes are failing me. If it was sarcasm, then I got a good chuckle.

I was really concerned about reaching Protein goals considering I was only getting in about 15 grams per day. I called the doctor's office and they told me that I should be having at least 4oz of Protein shake 3 times per day along with plenty of Water to stay hydrated. They were more concerned with hydration than protein. I tried a little yogurt today and a little apple juice along with 4ox of protein twice today. I find myself not being hungry however I make myself drink. I am more thirsty than anything and drink a lot of water throughout the day.

I am ready to move to the next phase.

I agree with @@Kindle on whey isolate Protein supplements, usually about 25-30 grams per serving.

During the first few weeks I think it is Water, Vitamins, and protein, in that order. It is really important to stay hydrated. Mix in Greek yogurt and you can up your protein intake. I had to learn to like it, but it is a high protein food.

It was for fun. Sometimes people can get too wound up I think.
