Watch with some Protein powders, they can be loaded with carbs and unnecessary sugar. I've been using (although pricey) Unjury powders and so far I like them. chocolate is probably my favorite. I also have an unflavored one that I add to Jello and pudding and some drinks. I don't know how I would get hit that protein mark without them.
My doc has me on a progressive diet, clear liquid to full liquid (I'm on now) to puree to soft to solids

GNC has a unflavored whey Protein that has been really helping me meet my protein intakes. I mix it with the mushy food and into my Protein Shakes.< /p>

By the way... I did this for 3 week post op!

My prescribed diet was 2-3 oz of Protein liquid at the top of each hour while awake. I used Protein shakes for this. Then at least 203 ounces of liquid every 15 minutes. If you do the math and you are are awake at least 12 hours a day:
12 x 2-3oz - 24-36 oz Protein drinks (Avg was 20 g Protein per cup or 60 g protein)
12 x 3 other 15 minute segment/hour x 3 oz = 108 oz of liquids.
If you need more protein, drink it at the half hour mark.
This plan easily gets in the required protein and liquids we need for post-op recovery, and it is a schedule you can follow anywhere.
Bee Healthy!
