Hey guys I'm 18 days PO! On day 21 I can add in soft foods like eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, soft veggies, and soft canned fruits etc.. When could I add in like Protein bars and stuff?? Cause these shakes are getting old.. Thanks!

My nut does not allow protein bars for months. You should ask your team. I am about same time as you, I am a big proponent of unflavored protein powder in broth or water. I had to take some day off of shakes after surgery.

Sixstar has a unflavored Protein it's $19 at Walmart 2pound 2 scoops = 40g of protein... Iv been getting all my supply's ready lol

I agree with @@chycky about the Protein bars. Ask your team and stick to your plan. Early on they are going to be dense to the point of being painful. Unflavored protein powder added to broth and other things is a better option.

Can you have white fish on soft foods? I would suggest adding fish if possible.

That sounds like phase 3 in my program, which I'm starting tomorrow, then phase 4 a month later. If anything, bars would be in phase 4. I don't know how my stomach might handle them, so I'll stick with simpler Protein sources for a while.

I had to wait to be cleared for 'all' foods until I could try protein bars. But I understand your anti protein shake thing. They all made me sick to the stomach.... Even Isopure (it made me sick the least). I added unflavored protein powder like unjury to my Greek yogurt. It helped get my protein in without drinking so many shakes. Good luck to you. You will be past this stage before you know it!
