Is there such a thing. It 10pm and I realize that I still need about 40 grams of protein. I can't possible bring myself to eat or drink anything else. I wish there was an easier way to get it all in. My stomach just can't hold it all some days.

You need to start early and plan out your day so you don't find yourself short at the end. No pills.

This is funny, when I was about 2 weeks post op I literally Googled for them and they do have them, but they're 10 gm and below, so I just stuck to protein powder. Unflavored saved me because I was able to mix it in any food I ate and I would drink 8 oz with crystal light and add the 30 gm of unflavored protein.

Getting protein in at week 2 for me was very difficult! I agree with "clc9", you have to start your day early. Protein is a must, I didn't do well getting in my protein the first three weeks. I now add 30g of Genepro unflavored to about 6oz of water three times a day. It does get better. Best wishes!

It is impossible to get as much protein as they require directly right after surgery. It is impossible to get that much liquid down that they require. But we have to try our best

Try isopure protein water from GNC. 40 G protein and 20 oz water in one shot. Easy to go down. Some flavors are yuck. I liked grape best. Taste like a melted Popsicle.

I've also heard of protein "shots" I think it's Like 2 or 3 oz of a protein water with 20 or 30 gm of protein

I've been using Atkins Lift protein water. Still hard to drink it all

My saving grace has been my chicken broth soup. I boiled boneless skinless chicken breast in a gallon of water with garlic powder for 45 minutes then put breast thru puree ,added 2 cans cream of chicken soup to broth then added breast back in. Then put it all. Thru puree again. I can only drink 1/4 cup at a time but i also drink 4-5 times a day. I also made vanilla sugar free pudding with slim fast high protein shake and 1/4cup 3x a day helps. I also made sugar free jello with protein water and eat 1/4cup 3x a day. Also if you like coffee i use 1 scoop of vanilla milkshake protein powder.

ive not been able to tolerate much else. Experiment tho and find what tastes good for you.

Im only 1week out post op and it hasnt been easy but keep faith and keep trying.
