what can i eat

 for protein. the smell of the shakes are aweful and i cant get past it. i am about to try some watery mashed potatoes but what can i have a s protein 

 Not sure what you are allowed yet but the greek yogurt has a good deal of protein.  About 14-16g per container.

According to the literature and guides that my NUT provided, you are still roughly 6 days from "mushies" - right now you should be on water, broth, sugar free (SF) jellos, SF popsicles, protein shakes, decaf coffee/tea, SF koolAid, skim milk, diluted fruit juices, Carnation Instant Breakfast (also a decent source of protein), any SF non-carbonated drink, oatmeal, grits or cream of wheat - all must be thinned w/milk and thin enough to consumew/a straw, but DO NOT USE A STRAW!

IDK what you are using for protein, but I really like the Unjury Choc. Spendor and the Unjury unflavored.  You may try those.

Good luck and I hope you find this post helpful!
