I have just thrown away the entire container of vanilla flavored whey protein. Id rather die than eat one more mouth full. Im making my fist trek out of the house today since surgery 5 days ago. Im definatly having a hard time finding ways to get protein into myself. I refuse the vanilla stuff. oh and by the way I HATE CHOCOLATE FLAVORED Carnation instant breakfast. Funny but its the only flavor you can find that is no sugar added. I ordered some vanilla and strawbwrry from wallgreens online but have still yet to recieve it. So its off to the market today for some much needed supplies. My incision sites seem to be healing but the one on my right upper side is clearly the most painfull. I want absolutly nothing sweet but am craving savory like there is no tomorrow. Im going to make homemade bean soup that i will later puree and some homemade red gravy as a base to put unflavored protein into. That at the very least sounds appetizing to me. I tried putting on a pair of too tight jeans today, they fit but im still not gonna waer them shopping. A bit uncomfortable and im not willing to put up with any unnecessary uncomfort at tis point. I also feel like the pain killers are making me wicked bitchy. I feel bad moods swing in and I simply go and lie die as not to put Jeff through any extra drama in taking care of me during my recovery. Whats with all theses dumb ass smiles on this blog site? what are we all 8 year old girls? Seems totatlly gay to put smiles after a blog....maybe im feeling a little bitchy now?

I got the EAS carb control protein drinks at walmart. The chocolate fudge is really good. At least I think so!

I'm sorry:crying: to hear:bigear: that you're feeling so bad! :confused: No:scared:smilies?:eek: OK, :iagree:...but just for today!:grouphug: :sorry: Just me trying to cheer you up!:biggrin: (and I do hope tomorrow's better!)

i promise that it does get better, i can say that because i am now over 2 years out and i have reached my goal. The first 2 weeks were the real test for me from mood swings to pain and back again. I think alot of it was withdrawl from caffine and sugar. But now i feel like it was all worth it. Just keep going and find your own way through the first 2 weeks. After that it can only get better. :confused: sorry about the smiles but they always make me smile no matter how stupid!! Have a happy new year!

I highly recommend Liquicel and Prostat 64 (both protein concentrate liquids that you mix with water/koolaid). They are both bottles that you can find at most specialty drug stores and contain above 25 grams of protein per 2 ounces. They come in grape or cherry flavors and are very yummy. Hope that helps.

Try the Special K protein powder that you mix with water. They're really good, and they have 5 grams per pack...I think. The iced tea ones can be microwaved and you can drink them hot, like hot tea. Very good. If I'm needing a quick protein fix I'll mix two packs in a glass of water and drink that. Also...and I don't know if you'll like this, there's this protein drink called, "Naked Organic"...something like that. It's over in the produce section of your grocery store and one of those drinks has 33 grams of protein. Now, the initial taste in kind of grainy and funky, but I REALLY like them. I hope this helps you.
