beginning week 2, full liquids, how do I get the needed protein

[kipa 1]

Just found this forum, first post. Banded a week ago, moving from Clear liquids to full liquid diet. Dr. advised full liquid for two weeks and wants 80 grams of Protein a day. i tried the strained low fat cream of chicken Soup and added a scoop of GNC whey protein. What an awful mess, was like glue and just unpalatable. Needless to say my dogs loved it! Any suggestions on getting the protein with the small 1/4 cup size portions needed during this full liquid phase. Thanks for any advise

Have you tried the unflavored powder by Unjury? I add it to everything and as long as you don't heat it up too much you can't even taste it.

Try Isopure - it is best mixed with a little Crystal Lite. 40 grams Protein in 20 ounces. My favorite is Grape Frost. Are you able to have Protein Shakes?

Thanks for the suggestion I have never heard of Isopure or unjury. I will see if I can find this tomorrow. I can have Protein Shakes which I do like but still will not getting enough protein. I'm excited to know that there is something out there that can be added without completely changing the taste of whatever I've added it to. A couple of hours ago I was wondering how I was going to get through the next two weeks but am more encouraged now.

New Whey liquid Protein shots are 42 grams of Protein in 3.8 OUNCES...just a thought. Maybe not the best tasting, but they certainly pack a lot of protein per ounce. I use them occasionally if I'm not hungry. 5 years post op.

Thanks for the help. Finally was able to speak with my doc and they told me to ignore the 1/4 cup information that was on their published diet. So now I can do the shakes, 2-3 premier shakes a day will get me the needed Protein. Best of all I can avoid that yuk that I was getting with the powder Protein.< /p>

Im using these after workouts too, not exactly the best tasting stuff but at such a small amount, i just gulp [edit: (half of)] it and imagine its medicine so that my brain isnt expecting anything pleasant lol and there its done!

Does anyone know if these "new whey liquid protein" shots are suitable for vegetarians? I havent found any details on their website about that but dont want to suggest it to vegetarian friends before Im sure. Thanks :-)
