New protein source - YAY!

Hi all -

I am 7 days out (Dec. 8) from Lap RNY and was thoroughly sick of the protein options I had stocked up on.  I am still using the bullets to add protein while I get my 64 oz. of liquids, but had discovered i couldn't stomach any more of the whey protein in any of the shakes I had.  A friend mentioned MLO Vegetable Protein.  Maybe some of you know about it or use it?  I got some right away.  I just had it blended up in some bean and bacon soup made with milk, and there is none of that nasty sweetness.  I can't wait to try it in other things.

It came in a 1 pound container, two rounded tablespoons provides 17 grams.  23 servings/can.   At our local Smiths grocery store, it was $15.79.

Just thought I would share with you all in case you find yourself in the same place...Best of luck!!!

 Did your doctor say the bulllets were okay to use?  My dietician said the protein source in those isn't that usable for the body and not to get them.

I never heard of MLO Vegetable protein.  It'll be good to keep in mind.

This sounds like something I might like to try. What does MLO stand for? What section of the store was it in?

I am not liking any of my post op food choices. She who loved SF pudding and protein shakes before surgery. UGH!
