winniewhos 3 Posted March 24, 2012 I've just been sticking to Water Protein Shakes, Soup pudding or Jello. The chicken broth was easier to get down first but now I'm eating vegetable based Soups which are good. Also my Protein shakes are nectar which are clear and not as thick as others since you're just mixing with water. I'm going to try to go out and buy unflavored Protein Powder to put in my pudding and soup bc I've been slacking on getting enough protein. Oh and when I get bored with the water they said I could have crystal light or diluted fruit juice with the water. Today i'm going to try some no sugar added apple sauce and a blended black bean soup the nutritionist suggested. Hope that helped good luck! Thank you so much for all the info, it has really helped me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
