Scolded By My Doctor....

Mmmm...frappuccino! I could drink the protein before surgery, but after surgery something changed and I couldn't stomach it anymore. Good luck!

I'm getting through the protein and one thing that I discovered is the Starbuck's SUGAR FREE Mocha syrup and SF cinnamon dolce syrup. You only need 1/4 of a teaspoon in the protein drink, especially the Mocha it has this liquor smell to it. 0 sugar, 0 fat wonderful stuff. I'm only a week and a half out of surgery and I'm having trouble eating food. I am also on the soft pureed food but I am not allowed the stuff that you are yet, until my next phase. I tried eggbeaters yesterday and egg whites today. I have a little less than an ounce and I am totally done with it. It's bland and unpalatable. I am allowed yogurt so I am eating some strawberry yogurt without the chunks. I do have that Fage yogurt which I haven't tried, alittle scared, but I heard it was good with that SF cinnamon dolce syrup. I couldn't find the syrups in a store I actually had to go to Starbucks and they sold it to me. They give you more than enough that will probably last over a year especially if you only use a 1/4 tsp at a time. I gave half of mine to a friend just to be sure I don't have this stuff around for a decade. I think they were about 8 dollars each, not bad. Good luck

I am 2 weeks and one day out, and I am also having trouble eating and getting enough protein and fluids, but I did order the protein bullets that are 42 grams of protein in about 3 oz. It tastes a lot like liquid jello. It is better than nothing and I don't have to put up with a foamy protein shake if I can't handle it that day. I also buy the EAS Advantage shakes at Walmart, pre-mixed, and keep them in the fridge. they have 17 grams of protein each and 11 oz of fluid. Good luck!

I orderd the Nectar Fuzzy Navel flavor protein and it is AWESOME. I would drink this stuff even if I didn't have to. They have other flavors too, but I haven't tried any others.

I also hate protein shakes. I find them gritty tasting. I bought a thing of any whey protein. So far ive tried it in yogurt and baby food chicken and found it to be not bad at all. I was hopeing this worked for me cause I dont know how else to get the protein in.

GNC Choc. Carmel Whey Protein powder is AWESOME...you should try it. They have little packs that you can try. The Choc. flavor is also good, they have strawberry, banana, etc. I think GNC protein powders taste the best. The Walmart ones are nasty and have a bad after taste for me. Hope that helps...there are also some pretty decent protein bars out there...look in Walmart by the nutrition bars. GOOD LUCK!
