What are you doing for protein?

Just wondering what everyone is doing for protein?  Do they like it?  How does it make them feel?  How expensive is it?

I have been doing the Isopure fruit punch.  I like it.  I found it for $31 a huge canister at vitaminshoppe.com.   I am shooting for 75 MG a day.

Denise,

My post op program doesn't concentrate on protein until the 3rd month.  In the meantime, I ordered some Unjury chocolate and LOVE IT.  I mix it in 8 oz milk and take 1/2 cup each meal for 10 gr of protein.  I don't care for fruit flavor stuff by love choc or vanilla.  I get it at Unjury.com.

Also, if you're not in to ordering it, Myloplex EAS is 20 grm and can be found at Wal Mart.

Hope that helps,
Barb

I use UNJURY proten powder.  The unflavored really has no taste, so I add it to my soup broths that I can have (still in the liquid phase) and its 20g of protein per scoop.  Sugar Free Carnation instant breakfast made with skim milk I have also  (13g of protein)... 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening usually (has 150 calories each serving, so I usually have 1 a day).  Can't wait till Monday when I can start eating pureed foods and get most protein in there!

I am taking the pro diet protein drink and I got it for my doctor. He recommends it for like the first 3 mths. I have it in fruit punch which is really good and also a cappuccino flavor which is really good too but I had a little problem with it just today. It was too foamy for me when I drank it so I've been burping and feeling really gassy and nauseated and even tried to yak it up a little and no luck. So I've been at work with the burps and gassy feeling all day. I stopped drinking water to see if I could get it to pass that way and I still feel the same. I just barely got to sip on some tomato soup and it went down ok but I've only had like 4 little sips and feel kinda full and burpy still. So hopefully it goes away soon. I haven't even been able to take my 2nd dose of iron cause of that awful feeling.  Oh yeah back to the subject at hand. I bought mine from my doctor and it was pretty expensive I think. A whole month supply 60mg a day of protein for $200 but it also included my iron, b12 and calcium.

I drink the IsoPure Grape Frost, it's 40 grams of protein per bottle.  The taste is OK, I really don't like the taste of Whey Protein.  I am going to try the AnyWhey as you can add it to anything and there isn't supposed to be any flavor or smell to it.

Good Luck to everyone!!!

I am trying to get my protein through foods.  I am allowed to eat 6- 2oz "meals" a day (pureed).  I eat mainly tuna fish, cottage cheese, chili, canned white meat chicken (done like the tuna).  I have 1 bottle of isopure, but it is just to spendy for us.  I also will add protein powder to sugar free ice cream or sugar free pudding.

 I use Unjury...at first it was just the Choc. I kind of got sick of it but it does taste good and 28gms of protein with 8oz of milk. I've been using the unflavored now and I LOVE using it. I put it in everything.....

With protein it is all relative to what you taste is. I hated EAS, Boost , Glucerna and Atkins....but those were all shakes not powder. Best of luck with your choice....
