It is very exciting to get to soft food stage. However, you will still need to use protein supplements to meet your goals. Even on solid food at 5.5 mths out, I still have a shake a day and sometimes a protein bar.

Yeah I might do the Protein bar for now cause omg I get too tired of them. Thank you for the advice

As soon as I was put on soft foods, I never had another "Protein shake". I did continue with unflavored protein if I couldn't meet my protein goals on a given day. I mix it with my coffee. Congratz, am thrilled for you. I couldn't wait to get off of liquids myself.

I have been able to get all of my Protein from food since Halloween (easy day to remember). I was SO THANKFUL to be able to kick the Protein shakes to the curb!

Quest bars are great. And don't swear off shakes. I supplemented my Protein for the first two or three years with a Protein shake or coffee a day. It helps!

I'm glad I like protein shakes. Two Pure Protein (35g each) and one Dannon Oikos Triple zero yogurt (15g) takes care of the majority of my protein. I don't have to add any powder to anything (thankfully because I hate it!)

Do you purchase flavored Dannon oikos triple zero yogurt or is it plain Greek yogurt? I used to love Greek yogurt but I can't eat the plain one.

I buy the flavored. Plain is good when you puree fresh blueberries and mix it in.

Good suggestion! I keep dropping money for things I can't tolerate! Will try this, cuz I am having a horrible time getting my protein in. I have tried everything, but the smell and taste of the protein makes me puke it back up. So far am using Atkins shakes, Healthy Wise Soups, Atkins Lift Water (as tolerated), but I had to get something in my system that would stay down. So I had to go to soft food more quickly than I wanted. Cottage cheese and very, very soft Salmon. Now I can tolerate the Oikas Greek Yogurt so far. I have tried adding the Protein Powder to stuff, but even holding my nose doesn't work. Blech!

@@Miss Impala why you are adding Protein powder to the Oikos Greek Yogurt?? It has 22g of protein by itself. How many grams of protein do you need daily??

@@Polarbearwifey I am trying to add it to things to beef up the Protein. For example, back then it was Egg Drop Soup. These days it is Wendy's Chili. That is working very effectively. But not yogurt. I eat that just by itself.

I am supposed to get between 80-100 grams of protein in a day.
