Hi,

I think Diana was on vacation but she is back now.  I sent her an email almost four weeks ago but just heard back from her yesterday.  She is usually really prompt answering emails.

 Be careful mixing protein powder with hot beverages/broths.
The clump up unless you mix them with a little cold water first, then add tha****er/protein mix to the broth or coffee and reheat in the microwave if needed.

I havent had surgery yet Kimberlyann but that is how I would add the totals.
When I have done my trial liquids... I reduced the scoop of my protein powder to 1/4 so I could space out the amount of protein throughout the day, to keep my bloodsugars level. I used it with blended cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, yogert, as well as skim milk and even water and a low cal juice at times for variety.
I often wondered if after surgery if it would be hard getting a high protein content shake in in one sitting... guess i will have to wait n see..... I know i will feel confident enough to be able to calculate it because i have worked with the liquid diet and learned alot.

my protein powder that i use is  from costco...4.4 lbs for around 35 bucks. for a full scoop  it's 150 cal...35g protein, 0.3g fat, 1g carb, 0.5g sugar. It is called Kaizen whey isolate powder, and I get the vanilla icecream flavor.

I also have used the premium choc protein shakes... already mixed... they come 325ml  and have 30g protein, 1g sugar, 3g fat, 5g carbs. i usually use 1/4 of it with milk.

I have never tried the unjury chicken, I used a swanson chicken broth from costco which has 10 cal per 2/3 cup, 0.5g fat, 1g carb, 380g sodium, 1g protein.  I usually added unflavored protein powder that I bought at the superstore...North coast naturals whey protein isolate..1/4 scoop = 15 cal, 1g carb, 1g fat, 6g protein.
