Just got home...need HELP re:Protein
I just got home late yesterday. Running a fever and chills. But am making a go at it. Had severe nausea for 2 full days, they didn't think I was going home!! UGH! Thank GOD I made that hurdle and got out! I felt like an inmate. Didn't get any sleep. Well, I can't say any....I did get 30 min's the last night I was there. I have insomnia really bad.
My question is what protein shots and protein supports are you all taking? Especially the shots. I need something that tastes good. I tried that UNJURY non tasting powder and thought I was going to LOSE it. It does have a taste and it's NASTY. The soup is doable. But I needs my protein. I plan on going to GNC today. Any help or ideas would be great. It's only my second day and I'm freaking out!! It's hard to get this all in.
Thanks guys and hope you're all well!!

The unflavored powder is best used in something else that has flavor, such as mixing it with sugar free jello amd making up several cups to snack on. You don't notice it in them that way.
I still drink the Premier Protein drinks from Costco. They now sell chocolate and vanilla. 30g per drink and as of now I take in 2 per day. I didnt do the protein shots. The liquid is too think and I knew my stomach would send it back. I know some of the other gals drink different brands.

hi Kris.....good to hear from you and glad you made it home. I have tried several of the protien drinks and prefer the PREMIER from Costco....it goes down easy, is complete, has lots of vitamins and is high in protien. It also feels real good on my tumtum. I never did the protien shots or jello, but love the sugar free popsicles. Keep writing and asking questions....we are all here for you...hugz:)Deanna
Kris,
I too have had insomnia since I got home. Couldn't sleep a wink for about a week after the surgery and felt awful because of it. It was about 9 days after surgery when I finally started sleeping 4 hours at a time.The hospital was not a wonderful experience for me and I couldn't wait to get out of there!
About the protien. I bought Unjury Chocolate and unflavored. Mixx the chocolate with non fat milk and it is very good. Also make popsciles from it too. I mix the unflavored with jello and it has no taste believe me i am fussy! Also take cystal light sunrise orange and mix the unflavored and its like an orange julius. Again I make popsciles. I am about to graduate to the premium shakes now that my tummy can handle more then a sip. Sorry about the sopeeling but I a tyring to hurry. Hope this helps and it does get better. I am almost 2 weeks out and feel almost myself. Except the sore throat that won't go away.

What an awesome idea with the unflavored powder and the orange crystal light to make popsicles. I am definitely going to give that one a whirl! Thanks Deb =)
