Home and well - protein ideas

Had laproscopic RNY on Tuesday 4-5-05. Got home Thursday. Feel great! Only problem is taste has changed. I thought I would do skim milk - loved before surgery now taste spoiled. Thought I would do Carnation instant breakfast it now taste like dirty diaper smells. But I"m not all negative - I have been eating grits with powdered milk added. But grits are getting old Help?

You are eating grits???? After Surgery???? OMG MY favorite.. My doc says I can't have them until 5 MONTHS>.. if you are doing ok with them then I will try tommorrow. Other than that i also dislike the protein shakes except for Atkins vanilla. I am with you everything takes different to me too. Congrats on your surgery! Let me know Please.

I cant have grits for 2 more weeks, wow your surgeon is moving you along quickly. I am doing carb countdown milk with carnation instant breakfast and it has 23 gm protein when I add a half scoop of any whey powder to it. Other than that Im still experiementing and looking for high protein sources myself.

Protein ideas: I am having an Elite Orange Dreamsicle protein shake I made it the blender. I got envelopes of samples and this was one. Protein powder, 6 oz non fat milk, 1 c of ice cubes. Put in blender and pulse the ice crusher on and off. Makes a delicious shake.. have to drink it slowly tho...20 gr of protein w. powder plus more from the milk Julia
