I am 4 weeks post surgery and am having difficulties getting in all the recommended Protein. I feel like the only way to get it all in is to drink Protein drinks but then that would all I would be able to get down in a day besides my Water. What is everyone else eating to get in their protein??

At that stage my plan has me drinking protein drinks as my fluids and purees for food.

I add unflavored Protein powder to Protein shakes, chicken broth and yogurt to get my protein in.

I was on pureed food a week ago and was cleared last week to start Proteins as whole but need to chew a ton before swallowing. I'm only supposed to have 4 oz of Protein Drink if I have that as a meal. Also no eating or drinking protein between meals.

How do they expect you to get enough protein?

At 4 weeks post-op I was on soft foods, so in addition to rote in shakes I ate cottage cheese, geek yogurt, turkey, tuna, salmon, protein Soup, etc.

I have no idea. They said no snacking between meals. If I don't snack or have protein drinks between meals there is no way I can get on enough protein.

I bought unflavored GNC whey Protein. It can be added to anything without really changing the flavour. I prefer it in savoury food. I add a scoop to my warm food and it ups the protein 20g. I shoot for 30g each meal.
