protien sources
I had surgery on 10/26/10 and have been advanced to the puree foods phase. I am starting to have a problem taking my protien supplements.. I have 2 different types. Bariatic Advantage chocolate meal replacements and Beneprotien unflavored to add to my foods. The problem is that I am starting to gag at the shakes when drinking them and the beneprotien is changing the texture and taste of the food to the point I dont want to eat at all. does anyone have some other suggestions of products? Please help!
So sorry it has taken me a while to reply. I have been SICK sick! Yucky!
Try unjury protein. It is one of the more paletable ones I have used and the kind i prefer. You may also try carnation instant breakfast (no surgar added) for the meal replacement one, then add a scoop of unflavored unjury to i for the extra protein needs you have.
Best of luck.

I had surgery the same day! . I am on puree and some soft foods, my Dr said I can try some soft with puree.... I too find that I am having a harder time with protien shakes, but I try to set a early schedule, 7 am.. I eat 1oz soft egg- I am using the liquid in carton.. it does better on me, then after 30 mins.. around 730.. I can drink.. I drink whatever Im in mood for.. maybe tea or life water.. then I drink protein shake.. takes me more than 1 hr.. but I do it.. even through its recommended to drink in 1 hr.. I then go onto another liquid.. but by lunch.. I am trying puree.. I have cottage cheese, and repeat the morning process.. drinking.. then protein.. drinking some more.. then dinner.. I have tuna or white fish or turkey.. all puree.. yes I managed it..lol... adn repeat the drinking process.. but if I am having a hard time with the food and protein.. I leave food out for a while.. and sip on protein shakes.. I even add vanilla protein to pudding.. it helps.. however.. I tried the unflavor by unjury... it gaged me.. it does have a taste.. something like powdered milk.. I wont use it again.. I do use vaniia shake and add the orange flavor packet like patrece suggested an it is drinkable for me.. I also bought sugar free choc syrup and add to it once in while.. and instant coffee.. if your a coffee drinker.. I am and I make my version of iced coffee with protein powder.. If you search on OH you can find recipes from some very creative ppl using the shakes.. I am too lazy to search for them.. LOL.. but I hope you find a solution and wish you lots of luck!
