What eating stage are you on? When I was at six weeks I was starting soft foods - I know every doctor is different, though.

For Protein, I had the HARDEST with Protein powders. I couldn't - and still can't (at over a year) - tolerate them. AT ALL. I've heard a lot of people had success with nectar and a few others. You really have to play around with them to find one that you like and can tolerate. If you go to health food stores or nutrition centers, a lot of times they'll have samples for sales, and some places will actually mix you a shake right there.

I hope I make it to five weeks without losing and hair or teeth! I'm 15 days PO and can't tolerate the Protein Shakes any longer. I did go to smoothie King and tried a kids size smoothie with Protein in it. I did get most of it down but towards the end of it, it got hard to tolerate. Ive tried grits, oatmeal, quoina, soups..... I want to chew on something so I even tried rice crisps. The sea salt ones helped but there's really no nutritional value in them. I need protein cause I'm really feeling weak and tired everyday.
