Protein

[minus 0]

I am 13 days post op and I am having a heck of a time getting my Protein in. Dr put me on puréed foods a couple of days early. I can't drink most shakes. What are some ideas for me to get my Protein? ?? HELP........

Wow. I can ever so relate. Its week 5 for me. The only way I could drink that stuff is 100ml of milk, 100ml hot cocoa unsweet, add sweetner, and chocolate protein suppl.

I add unflavoured protein to cereals. I find it mask it well. I learned to shake or Stur 1 minute after I think its enough

A while back I put together a list of high Protein foods. If you post or PM me your email address I'd be glad to send it to you. Forum rules don't allow me to post the Excel file. I've sent it to dozens of folks on the forum.

It's difficult to get all of your Protein without some kind of supplement but hopefully you'll find some things here that will help!

You also might try getting the unflavored Protein powder. First thing in the morning, put a scoop of the powder in a small bowl. Depending on the powder, one scoop is 20g or more of protein. When you eat or drink something, put a pinch of the Protein Powder in. You can add it to almost anything and if it's just a pinch, you shouldn't notice the taste too much. By the end of the day you've eaten an additional 20g of protein, a pinch at a time.

Trying anything you can think of until you're getting all of your protein in every day is well worth the effort. Unlike fat or starches, your body cannot store protein and the nine "essential" amino acids must be obtained from food - the body cannot manufacture them. That means they need to be replenished every day. It's quite important for faster healing, increased energy, reducing hair loss, preserving lean muscle tissue and protection from bacterial and viral infections. You're gonna love the new you!!

I would love your list too, my mail al70swity@gmail.com. My doc is against the shakes, I'm still pre-op and I have no clue how to get that much protein.

I have NEVER heard of a doctor being against Protein shakes! Did they give you a reason? That's your main source of Protein, especially in the beginning. I can't imagine where I would be without them. Undoubtedly in the hospital! Good luck with your journey. Please keep us posted!

He told me I can have it after I exercise, which I can start after 2 months! So I don't really know what I should be eating until then. I live in Switzerland and everything is a lot different than what I'm reading here. Here you stay at the hospital for about 1 week and you go back to work 4 to 6 weeks later. Depending how you feel and what your job is.
