Protein H E L P!!
I am 5 days post-op. I just started pureed foods and protein drinks today. The problem is the protein drinks I liked pre-op now make me gag, I can't stand the smell. Any ideas about how to get in protein while Im waiting to be allowed to eat "real foods"??
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.-Isaiah 40:31
I hate to hear that it is making you gag. What kind did you like pre-op that you now do not post-op. Two weeks ago at my surgeon's group session we had taste testing, and we tried about 9 different sources of protein supplements. Maybe with a little more info people can help out more?
Congrats on coming this far, I can't wait to hear about all your WOW moments yet to come!~Leslie
