ppatterson 24 Posted July 10, 2012 Yesterday I went and had drain removed. I was averaging 70 grams of Protein and my NUT said to back down to 60. So today they all taste terrible. Guess I will try them again tomorrow. Weird huh? Any suggestions? I'm on full liquid 11 days post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minckle 87 Posted July 10, 2012 Try some new mix-ins like almond milk, soy milk, a bit of banana, powdered Peanut Butter. Dying of curiosity, though: can you have TOO MUCH Protein? Why did she say to back down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ppatterson 24 Posted July 10, 2012 She said she didn't want to overwork my kidneys. I have had good luck with BariWise and nectar until today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MinaT 669 Posted July 10, 2012 I was doing 80-90 pre-surgery and now I am hitting 55-60 and I'm 5 weeks out. I'm struggling and will probably continue to struggle a little bit. I just hit purees yesterday. Unfortunately, I also have suffered from the omg these shakes suck now syndrome. It gets better and eventually they become more tolerable again. Good luck to you.

I hope I'm not bald in a few months. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
