Protein without protein shakes

Hello All I am back and thanks for the prayers and words of encouragement. Lori A-Thanks for being my angel I was so out of it I forgot to call you so you could come visit me. I just realized it today. Ok question: I know there are ways to get your 60 grams of protein in without doing the shakes or the nectar. Does anyone know how and if so could they post. I already knew I was not going to tolerate the shakes and juice but I hoped it would be better than this. Question#2: When is Dr. Aranow supposed to fill out Short Term Disanilty papers. My follow up is on 11/29 so should I call someone on Monday and drop the papers off because I am need to get paid. Questions#3: How long does coughing up all the things usually take. It is getting on my nerves. I think that is it for now. Thanks all for help, Toya

Hey Toya, I forgot what stage of eating you are on, but I had the same issues with protein drinks. When I was on stage 4, I used Beneprotein a lot in yogurt and sf puddings. I got the pudding mixes and when I added milk, I also added 1 scoop of beneprotein per serving on the box. (usually 4 servings). That gave me 10g protein per 1/2 cup serving. (6 for the beneprotein and 4 for the milk in the pudding). I also add 2 scoops of beneprotein to a 16oz cup of decaf coffee giving me 12g protein and 16oz toward fluids. I still do this and it works great. I am about to try the Unjury tasteless protein powder which is 20g per scoop compared to the 6g in beneprotein. If I come up short with protein, I just drink a couple of glasses of milk (well... Lactaid for me) to make up for it. Now on stage 5, I add 2 scoops of beneprotein to my coffee in the morning and eat a protein bar at night for a snack and the rest is meat/eggs/cheese or fish. As for Dr. Aranow filling out papers, I faxed my papers as soon as I got them from my benefits office and he filled them out promtly because I got paid on schedule. Hope this helps, terri

Welcome home Toy! Have a speedy recovery! Need anything, I am in the same town and would be glad to come meet you! Have a great holiday! Love, Phyllis

Welcome Home Toya- Glad you are back online! Hugs, Joanie

Hi Toy, Hope your doing well. We had our surgery on the same day, so I think we're in the same place. Hope your feeling well. I've been updating my profile to capture all the ups and downs. What's up with you and the shakes? I'm using the Atkins, they taste good, not chalky. Sorry to hear your coughing. I did yesterday and saw stars. I thought someone was playing baseball with my inners. Be well and good luck.

As for protein, I like the Unjury unflavored. Once I got on purees my favorite was mashed potatoes w/ cheese and unjury. I also put in in yogurt and yogurt smoothies. I have been told you can't taste it if you add it to crystal light, but haven't tried it myself. Disability paperwork- I had mine all filled out before my surgery (my company required notice ASAP) Good luck! Carmen

Hi I drink 20 oz Zero carb Isopure daily which it have 40 protein in it. Kathy K
