I am 1 week post op. Feel good. Almost no pain. Almost fine. Tons of energy. and happily living on Vitamin Water zero, homemade chicken stock and Jello. Not interested in food. No cravings. But I am worried about nutrition. I am vegetarian and didn't eat meat before and my Protein intake has always been low. Suggestions?

I'd add a tasteless Protein powder to those drinks and broth. I'm going to order one called "unjury" based on a friends suggestion. Good luck!

Put your canines to good use.

Once you are at the puree stage - refried beans are delicious! You probably still need to supplement for a while though. I bought Genepro Unflavored Protein powder and have added to puree butternut squash and sugar free pudding. You can add it to anything.

Ricotta bake is a delicious, soft, vegetarian option.

I have heard unflavoured Protein...still has flavour...I tried to order a few on amazon but I am in Canada and delivery wasn't an option. I can try my local GNC when I go out.

Ricotta bake sound like something I could live off of!

There's also Greek yogurt and if you eat cheeses, cottage cheese as well as eggs all have lots of protein. Using protein powders and they have ones for vegetarians too. All kinds of beans out there to make soups, chili and food with, also hummus is a great goto snack

I keep forgetting hummus as an option! Thanks!

I just got the unflavored from Gnc and yes it still does have a flavor to it. I added it to my Water and it was super Nasty

Genepro sold at gnc and amazon is really good in hot beverages, soups it will turn clear liquids kinda milky but to me there is hardly any taste. Never tried it in straight water though. Keep hot liquids unDer 140degrees Fahrenheit
