Protein?
OK i am 3days post op.... how the hell do i get all the protein they require (50-60mg)
I'm having all i can do to just sip sip sip my water...
I dont even want food, the thought makes me feel icky.
Ive gotten 2, 4oz protein shakes in today at 13grs each but thats it!!!
I was going to have applesauce but that doesnt have any protein in it.
Not sure what else to try.... any ideas??? of course it has to blended too :)

just do the best you can. i don't think i got in all the requirements for at least 2 weeks out. i did hit the low end but it is a lot of work. you will have to sip constantly. i even slept with a water bottle so when i woke or rolled over i could take a sip. it does get easier. i can drink a whole ounce at once now.
just keep sipping. go slow and get lots of rest.

If you can have the applesauce, maybe try adding some unflavored protein powder to it? Or, make some protein popsicles with crystal light. If you like sugar free pudding, you could add some protein powder to that too.
It's really hard to get all that protein in at first, but IT DOES get easier as you get further out. I'm with Lisa...if you are getting your fluids in, that is important. Try to get as much protein as you can, but early out, don't stress too much about it!! Keep us posted on how you're doing!! Ruth

Thats what I was planning on doing, was the unflavored powder but I wasnt able to find any in my area.
I may just have to order some online.
Thanks, I know its going to be hard. Just figured where I was feeling better I would get some protein in.

Congrats on your surgery! It sounds like you're really doing the best you can! I'd definetely order some unflavored powder for that applesauce like you already thought about. One other thing that I did was drink Simply Smart skim milk and put a little SF Nesquick in it. Either heated up or cold, but early on it felt much nicer to sip the "cocoa" all day!
Good luck and welcome to the loser's bench!

Whole Foods in Portland carries Jay Robb unflavored protein to mix in with water you would like. I also saw that Hannaford in West Falmouth is now carrying it. It will get easier as time goes on. I still 8 months later have a hard time getting all of my protein in every day. Some days I make it and some days I don't. Good luck. Missi
