So you are 10 days out and on mushies? Lucky girl! My doctor won't let me until 3 weeks out. I already had some really thin mashed potatoes though.

Thats right Mini Me, do the best you can. . . i'm 5 weeks out and still dont get 60-80 grams of Protein. . . whatever is my attitude, as long as i'm eating and not cheating on nothing and feel satisfied, i'm happy. . .the more we stress over things the more the weight loss will slow down. . .just relax and enjoy getting to know your new self. . . you'll love your sleeve soon enough. . .:sad0:

I couldn't agree more. It was really difficult for me to get in all my Protein until I got to soft solids and regular food. There was only one protein I could tolerate, and I didn't find it until my husband came home. It's the one he used while deployed.

Anyways, I beat myself up all the time about lack of protein, but I had to remember to just eat what I could, and what my body would tolerate.

It does get better. I promise:thumbup1:

There are a few unflavored Protein powders that supposedly you can bury in crystal light. They are 80 calories and 20 grams of Protein. I'm not where you are yet, but this was one of the recommendations of my dietician.

unjury Unflavored whey Protein: Medical Quality Unflavored Protein powder Mix

Good luck, hearing your stories really helps me know how to make my own situation go as smoothly as possible

Mini-me, You are in my prayers. I hope you find something that you can stomach and that you feel better soon.

Aren't Beans considered mushies?? What am I missing? :lol0:

I can have pinto beans/refried Beans as long as they are pureed and applesauce consistency.

Thank you. The support and prayers really do mean a lot.

When you get tired of all the sweet "shakes" ... try Unjury chicken broth Protein powder. 20 gms of protein, nicely seasoned...great to have something warm going in instead of a cold shake in this cold weather.

Thanks for the recipe!!!

I found the unjury chicken Soup was too salty for me. I'm planning to use Trader Joe's Low sodium organic chicken broth and put the Unjury unflavored Protein powder in it for something warm post-op. I'm afraid of having too much sodium and not being able to hydrate enough.

I love the Jay Robb chocolate. This morning I made it with 6 oz of Trader Joe's Unsweetened Soy milk. Only 3 carbs for 8 oz. I hope I still like it post op!

My favorite product right now is BodyTech Dutch chocolate pudding. One packet mixed with 5-6 oz of Water. It's a little sweet for me. The other night I made it with some soymilk and it cut the sweetness a lot. I'm planning to use that during my pudding/yogurt stage. I think it's 25 Protein for the 5-6 oz.

I'm really wondering what my taste buds will be saying post-op.

I love the BSN Lean dessert chocolate fudge pudding.< /strong>

Where is the best place/price to buy Unjury chicken broth Protein Powder - considering shipping, etc?

Just a thought for those of you having a hard time only drinking the sweet Protein Drinks. Optifast makes two different kind of Soups, chicken and Tomato. They are both pretty good. They have 14 grams of Protein in them and you would have to be on full liquids (they're kind of thick). I really like them. You can order them online or from some WL docs.

Hey Mini-Me ~

I ordered a sample packet of the unjury chicken broth when I got the chocolate Protein shake from them. I'll bring it into work tomorrow and we can try it. Also, I found another Protein shake at costco today -- 30 grams of Protein in 12 oz...I'll bring one of those in for you to taste as well. I thought it was pretty good and needed some sort of protein since I used all my Unjury chocolae Protein Shake and my order isn't here yet.

I'm sorry you are going through this...I'm fortunate at this point since I don't mind the Protein shakes and I am able to get 70+ grams of protein a day now. We'll talk tomorrow!

Love ya sleeve sista!!!

I'm really wondering what your taste buds will be saying post-op too...please let us know. My tastes changed so dramatically. I loved the Jay Robb protein shakes, all flavors, and since my surgery can't take a sip without gagging. I hope this isn't the case for you.
