I am hoping to start a help group. I am on mushy stage and needing to get in 80 grams of protein.. How do you do it.. I am still a bit swollen so get eat to much. so I am struggling.. Fill up fast. Also getting burned out on protein drinks fast

Thanks in advance

I drank Isopure liquid flavored Water (flavors like apple melon, orange, lime, grape) from GNC. Each bottle was 40 gr. of Protein.

It wasn't too bad, and was easy because I didn't have to make anything! Just make sure it is chilled!

Good luck!

Hi Clv

I had my surgery 10/3/08 - I also drink Isopure - they have 40 grams of protein and they come in different flavors, punch, rasberry, applemelon, pineapple, etc. There are also NEW WHEY bullets. They are 3 oz, 42 grams of protein. They are also different fruit flavored. You can get them at health food stores, GNC, etc.

Hope this helps.

I thought Isopure tasted like...well not good. Try protein bullet or Oh Yeah, both at GNC. Portein bullet is 42 grm protein in 3.1 oz. So far Fruit Punch has been the best IMHO.

some choices other than protein drinks:

egg drop soup

ff refried beans

cottage cheese

hummus

scrambled eggs

ricotta bake

lf jello/pudding

greek yogurt

As an addition to luluc, I mixed up alot of egg salad, I could make it as thin as needed and it is wonderful protein. I put some garlic powder,pickle relish,mayo in it.. as I got out of mushie stage I even added shredded cheese to it.

I also ate alot of Cottage cheese, again you can fork it and make it thin. When I got tired of it, I sprinkled McCormick's "season all" on top. later, after I was out of mushies, I topped my lettace salads with Cottage chesse as well as a very small baked potato for some added protein.

I drank sugar free carnation instant breakfast. It taste great and has 20 gm of protein and you can add fat free powdered milk to increase the protein quantity. It's chocolate so it curbs your sweet tooth. I bought it in bottles already mixed up but it also comes in powder that you add to fat free milk. I got sick of the ISOPURE real fast.

Hi. I am on mushies too. It's been VERY hard to 'feel' hungry when I have such little to eat.

But I am reading and researching so I can keep myself fed. Right at this moment I'm having cream of chicken soup. It's way better than I thought. I also bought mushroom and celery.
