okay guys I need some help
This eating deal is something else! I just cannot get in 60 grams of protein I am tired of chocolate anything I eat caramel viactive chews for my calcium the protein I have is rich chocolate the pudding I eat is chocolate damn! I am not a pudding person so chocolate is what I can tolerate, I am not real big on chocolate I did find a protein called unjury and they have chicken soup flavor and it is good ! The only thing is I cannot afford to keep buying this stuff I just bought 60.00 worth of protein! Anybody have their diet plan they used post op?
Make sure you are taking calcium citrate and I think viactive is calcium caltrate. That is crucial. When I was a new post op, I ordered samples from vitalady.com, she sells many different samples for $1.99 a packet and allows you to try different kinds of protein powder. I use Whey protein powder from Walmart now and it's about $13.00. I did order the unflavored Unjury and that lasted a long time for me because I would put it in different things, such as soup, yogurt and pudding. I think that GNC carries an unflavored protein powder as well. Just remember anytime that you add protein powder to something hot that you should put the powder in a little cup and add just enough cold water to make a thin paste and gradually add to hot cocoa or whatever other wise it will clump up and be really gritty and not fit to drink.
I feel you on getting the protein in. So I had to be creative. I use Whey protein (32g) from Walmart-one scoop with cinnamon in my coffee in the morning, then I drink a half ISOPURE from GNC- add Crystal light Lemonade to tast for my first snack and the other half for my afternoon snack. They have 40g of protein. So by the time dinner rolls around I already have 72g in. My problem is adding in some other fluids or water to get to 64 oz. But the shake recipes that Wonka D has are very helpful. I just ordered some samples from Vitalady
