Misty 9 Posted March 7, 2013 I found a yogurt I love. It's yoplait Greek fat free. It has 13g of protein' date=' only 7g of sugar(my NUT said stay under14g sugar) It's really good and helps me get in my Protein without so much of the yucky shakes and I can have it now while I'm still on soft mushies. I still have a ways to go but making progress a little at a time.[/quote'] Love them too. Key lime was a bit too tart for me and I love the vanilla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celebrate*me 52 Posted March 8, 2013 I absolutely can't find a Protein I like or that doesn't make me yucky from the awful taste.... I've tried... Isopure-mango peach' date=' alpine punch, grape frost by theirselves or mixed with Water Premier Protein Pure Protein Ensure high protein Atkins whey protein from Walmart Body fortress Lean shakes Wheybolic60 Muscle milk Nitrotech A couple others from Walmart What am I going to do? I'm still on soft foods due to a complication so at this point I have to use supplements. I keep thinking what am I going to do? I'm so struggling. Oh and before surgery I was tolerating these fine. It's just been since surgery I'm so turned off.[/quote'] Put a scoop of protein in ur yougurt and cottage cheese. I have tried these drinks premade called O Yeah. They taste like milk shakes. I can't stand the Isopure Mango Peach. The alpine punch is tolerable to me. Im just tired of Protein Shakes point blank period!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celebrate*me 52 Posted March 8, 2013 I'm in the same boat' date=' have not found a single supplement I can stand yet. I think I might get some of the unflavored and add it to my regular foods. Has anyone else done that? Does it change the taste/texture at all? Also I'm going to ask my nutritionist about Tropical smoothie when I see her. I went through their nutritional menu and found 3 that I may be able to do with Splenda. They can add Protein shots to them. Re-Birthday: 2/27/13[/quote'] Yes I put some unflavored unjury in my cream of chicken Soup and it was gross and thick like oatmeal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

padlrd 183 Posted March 8, 2013 You have to watch temp when using Unjury or it will lump up I've microwave 1/2 cup Soup only 1 minute any longer it clumped also added unflavored Unjury to yogurt and couldn't taste it just made it a little thicker 1 kraney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cook your soup, make sure it cools below 140, then add you protein :-) Gen :-) 12/15/12 1 kraney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoAnneR 2 Posted March 12, 2013 The handout I have from my program says "vanilla Protein Powder mixed with Tropicana sugar free Orangeade is a popular combination.". Am planning on trying it. They have other tips I am going to try, chocolate with raspberry drink mix, vanilla with fruit punch, i guess there are a lot of combos we could try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have used vanilla or chocolate Protein shake mix in oatmeal or cream of wheat. It was ok. Of course I didn't use an entire scoop, just about 1/4 or add by your taste what you can handle. Just remember, protein is destroyed over 140 degrees so make sure your food is under that temp. Gen :-) 12/15/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica9190 127 Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks everyone for your ideas. I am starting to think I have become lactose intolerant. Even before surgery I always got a tummy ache after I had milk or ice cream or something like that but I love milk and ice cream so I just dealt with it. I guess it wasn't that bad. However now it is much worse. For example yesterday I had one Protein Shake and I had stomach cramps for about two hours and I just felt ill. It finally went away and I felt much better.

maria pepe 29 Posted March 13, 2013 Try soy or almond milk or lactose free milk. My taste buds have changed drastically. It is all trial and error until you find what works for you. Journal everything you eat..it will make it easier to track intolerance. 3 nienie, one4ozzie and monken reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
