2 1/2 weeks post op

Its been a crazy ride so far. My stay at the hospital was eventful and long. I was so happy to get home and get on full liquids to now be completley depressed about it. I am so bored of yogurt and cream vegatable soup. I tried the protein shakes various ones and seemed to make me nauseated and exausted. Help! I just can't seem to get down enough protein. My doctor suggested 2x thickened milk which I mix with a fat free & sugar free cocoa. I drink 100ml twice daily. It just adds up to a little over 30grams a protein a day. Any helpful suggestions.

Hi Sabrina I drink EAS Cocolate Whey Protein from Walmart. One scoop has 20gm protein and you only have to mix it with 4oz liquid. Carb Countdown skim milk adds another 6 gms. It is not great but its not bad and to get 26 gms of protein in just 4 oz is worth choking it down. I blend it with an ice cube and then let it "settle" in the fridge for about 10min so it isn't all foamy. Hope this helps you some. Jen

TODAY i made carnation instant breakfast w/ carbcountdown milk and i felt like i was having regular chocolate milk. IT had okay protein i was happy with it. SAT well i only had surgery JUNE 1. GOOD LUCK!
