I've tried everything and it's all making me sick! Protein Shakes, Protein gels, Greek yogurt, milk, Peanut Butter, eggs? ??? it's all so nasty! I don't know how I'm going to do this!

Have you tried unflavored Isopure Protein Powder? I mix it in with whatever I'm eating. Regular yogurt, pimiento cheese (yum), chicken salad, smoothies, you can even bake with it. 26 g of Protein in one scoop ????

The only food I could consistently eat during my 1st month post-op was Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup. You might try a can and mix in a little unflavored Isopure Protein powder. It worked for me when I couldn't eat anything else.

Right now I'm eating my own special chili.

Take one pound of 99% fat free ground turkey and cook it with spices you like smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne and salt. Add one can of trader joes turkey chili. In nonstick pan no oil works great. Cook turkey before adding the can of chili.

This makes 3.5 cups of chili, or 7 1/2 cup meals.

Each 1/2 cup has 147 calories and over 20g of Protein and only 2.1 g of fat. When reheating I stir in a tablespoon of Tomato Soup and a splash of Water.

Yummy, health and super high in Protein without using the powders. And very filling.
