Try Isopure zero carb drink in a bottle. 36 grams protein. It is more like koolaid than a shake. Or how about Carb Countdown dairy beverage. 12 protein per cup and only 3 carbs.

The following web address has a place that show protein content of just about any food you could want. Hope this helps. JIM http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR16/wtrank/wt_rank.html

How long since your surgery? what kind of foods does your doctor have you on? Liquids? Soft? Regular foods? it will make a difference on what foods people will suggest for protein. Also, how many grams of protein are you trying to get in a day?

Hey! Great idea? Here's one. Skimmed Milk has 8 grams of protien...so does 1/3 a cup of powdered milk. Granted it's a bit thick, but there is NO funny taste. It just tastes like thick thick milk. That's 16g of protien in 8 oz...not to shabby. AND (WAHOO) it counts as fluid for the day(according to 2 different nutritionists i've seen). So 4 cups of milk w/ powder & 4 cups of water...and you're set.

OH!! one last thing. I think it was GNC...but they make liquid protien. It tastes like cough syrup but has something like 3g per tablespoon. Just in case you're running short.

Are you able to eat fish yet?? A can of Tuna (in water, not oil) has about 30 grams of protein and only about 150 calories.. That's an excellent source of protein!!

I eat lots and lots of moz cheese sticks. Started with 1 per serving and now eat 4 per serving with one serving every single day. I could probably eat more of them, but it satisfies me. I get the required protein in daily without protein drinks (though I admit I kind of like the new slimfast low-carb shakes and have one occasionally on the run).
