Protein

[rgrunge87 2]

If I can not eat much of anything to get enough Protein in because of so much pressure and or having dumping syndrome, I am doing the shakes but can you tell me if you've experienced this as well and if you have what did you do to help get the protein?

I added Un jury unflavored Protein powder to every broth and cream Soup I could find. Used milk instead of Water to mix my Protein powders because it adds an extra g of protein for every oz you use. Once in pureed stage, I Did eggs, refried Beans, pureed split pea and bean Soups, pureed tuna fish, and still kept adding unflavored Protein Powder to everything else including mashed potatoes, hummus and guacamole. Getting enough liquid and protein was my full time job from waking up to bedtime.

I couldn't eat more than a couple tablespoons at a time for at least the first month, but still managed to get 60g protein everyday from shakes and powder. I had a lot of bloating everytime I ate, so did a lot of walking to help move things through. Even at 11 months out I drink a 24-32oz protein smoothie with 30-40g protein everyday in order to meet goals.

Where did you find Unjury? The only thing I can think of is ordering it online but I'd like to buy it in store. I am on stage 2 so am I ok to have milk now?

I've only seen Unjury online. After 3 or 4 days, I was allowed anything I could tolerate. Of course, the same applies to eat or drink slowly and in small amounts at a time.

Ordered it online from their website. But there are other unflavored powders you may be able to find locally at GNC or other health food store while waiting for it to ship.

I also ate a lot of Greek Yogurt. Plain Fage or Chobani flavored with Torani SF Syrup or vanilla Protein powder.
