In the beginning its more important for you to drink. Make sure you are getting at least 64 oz of fluids. The protein will come. The unflavored protein shake is good in oatmeal or stuff that has a flavor. I have done milk, chocolate unjury with a piece of banana in shake....or you could use vanilla extract flavoring, milk, a scoop of your unflavored protein with a few strawberries in it.....there are lots of ways to make shakes. Think of your favorite healthy foods that you would make with a shake. Peanut Butter, Chocolate Unjury and Banana is one of my favs...You could also use the pudding mixes with the shake stuff too but the whey protein breaks down after a day in frig...unless you are going to make enough to eat the same day I probably won't waste your product on something like that.
Belinda, You can put the unflavored in just about anything. I ate alot of mashed potatoes at first and it goes well in them. When I ate meat I used a lot of F/F gravy. Put it in there too. My husband does not want to eat so I am adding it to alot of his food to get extra protein in. He doesn't even know it is there. Are you ready to start your leader classes. Let me know when you are ready. I look forward to working with you. I will be having a meeting in Harrington this month. Hope to see you there. See you lighter. Joanne
Hey Belinda,
How are you feeling? How are you making out on the pureed foods? It seems yucky now, but the time will pass fast. I saw on my caller ID where you called the house the other night, sorry I missed your call. Feel free to leave a message though anytime.
Take care & I'm going to try to get to Harrington this week for the support group meeting - I really miss them.
See ya!!!
