Unjury has a Protein Powder that is chicken Soup flavored. You could add it to chicken broth.< /p>

They have chicken Soup flavor. Could be added to broth.

Try looking for GENEPRO Protein powder. It's tasteless, odorless and one tablespoon has 30 grams of protein. I put it into my yogurt and in milk. I'm onto pureed foods now and it's still a staple in my receipes. Lots of luck!

I use Ispure. It has 60grams per two scoops. I use less liquid with my shakes. I can drink them easier. For two scoops I use 8oz of liquid instead of 12oz. I'm almost 3 weeks post

I'm going to try it in my yogurt I tryed it my crystal light drink it was not good I have the sample pack

I purchased Unjury unflavored Protein powder prior to my surgery. After surgery, I added one scoop to 24 oz of Crystal Light one to two times a day. It's 21 grams of protein. Because of this I was meeting my protein goal of 60 grams post op day #4. Now, 6 1/2 weeks later I am down to 1 scoop a day. It's a lifesaver.

Just an FYI...I read that the body can not absorb large amount of Protein at 1 time 20-30 grams max per serving.

3 meals and 3 Snacks a day, try starting with Protein at each serving for all 6 n it helps chip away at the protein and keeps your metabolism up to burn fat.

Besides Protein Powder-some food choices are

Scramble egg whites

Greek yogurt

chicken or tuna salad ( home made- low fat)

Fat free cheese

Skim Milk

Ground Beef or Turkey

Home made Soups with shredded meat

Isopure drinks have 40 grams of Protein the grape is my favorite.

I used to hate Greek yogurt then I learned to "tolerate" it. Now, I really don't mind it at all. I have it in some ort of way at every meal. I mix with things to make a sauce for chicken, turkey etc. This has helped keeps the meats really soft and much easier to eat. I was having problems with food getting stuck and coming back up, now, it's not really a problem any more. I always have plain Greek yogurt in the refrigerator. Best of luck!!

I'm 3 weeks out how many calories should we be having or should we jst concentrate on portion

[Jorrin 6]

I think if we get the flavorless Protein powder we can add it to everything without adding calories

I am on my third week also trying watch fat and calories. I'm trying to eat high Protein
