PROTEIN, How are you getting yours in?

Lisa, Where did you get the packet that lists the foods to start to eat? Can you share with us? Cheryl

WOW, my surgeon won't even let us touch turkey breast or chicken, et****il week 6! LUCKY YOU! I'm excited about having cottage cheese in 9 days when week 2 of full liquids is over!

I'm choking down the PROFECT vials from protica.com but it's getting harder and harder. I can only manage one a day. They taste too sweet to me now. I also have the ISOPURE drinks, and I can't stand them anymore either. They didn't bother me before though. I do like the revival soy shakes (www.revivalsoy.com) -- I ordered cappuccino and it's been the only shake I've been able to tolerate now. I wish my doctor would let us have the eggs now! I miss eggs! I have to wait till next Thursday for that but right now I've had such an icky taste in my mouth that I doubt anything will taste good now so I just keep reminding myself that this is only temporary!!

Melissa my dear Melissa. How we love our protein.. SIKE! Well, i had purchased 2 large bulk powder containers of NECTAR ( flavors Fuzzy Navel and Apple Ecstacy) and really wasn't too fond of them. They are SUPER SUPER SWEET and well, when i added a little or a lot of water to a scoop ( which is 25 gr protein) i would still taste the same sweetness. So,,,, what i do is drink 2 a day --1 for breakfast and the other about 9pm.... I take about 4 oz. of water, and I add the scoop. and stirr with spoon. Then i add about 3 cubes of ice so it gets nice and cold. Since it is so little, i find it tolerable to me.. and by days end i've gotten nearly 50 grams of protein just from drinks alone.. I personally did not like the premixed isopure drinks and i tried a red and green flavor. Neither had a good taste to me.. Wierd after taste. I hope you find something that works for you.
