Hi everyone. I'm ten days out since my surgery and I'm on the full liquid diet. My issue is that I'm having real trouble getting in my Protein. My nutritionist info says I should be at 60-70 during this phase and I'm at 40 if I'm lucky.
I've tried a bunch of Protein shakes. I've tried blending, I've tried the pre-made and they just make me feel filled up after two small sips. I've been able to handle the New whey Liquid Protein if I Water it down with a lot of water...but my nutritionist wants me moving away from that to the protein powder/shakes as I progress.
Weirdly, I can handle 1/2 a pudding cup or 1/2 greek yogurt at a time, so I do add unflavored protein to that, but I'm just not getting in the shakes on my meal plan I'm supposed and I don't know what else to try. It's not about taste either...it's just about the actually being able to drink it.
