soft food stage

How are you getting in all your Protein? From shakes or from foods? There's no way to get in all protein from foods since i can't eat that much. I'll drink a Premier Protein but that's only 30 grams, and that leaves me to get in another 30+. So, I guess I should just continue with 2 shakes a day?? I would much rather to do it with food. Ugh....I'm having a tough time doing this.

You can add non flavored Protein Powder to your food. Eat tuna or chicken salad.

It was frustrating for me too during the soft stage. I couldn't stomach the Protein Shakes anymore. I did eat tuna, chicken salad, but I couldn't get much in (i got as close as I could). I was afraid when I went for my labs and the Dr saw my Protein levels I would be so low. My labs were actually great. Just try to get as close as you possibly can. I stressed myself out so bad about getting in ALL the protein I think that is why I got kicked back to the pureed stage. My stomach just couldn't handle the soft foods yet. I ended up staying on pureed foods for 2 months (my choice, since soft foods became such a chore). You can try Beans, chili, and cheese. There are tons of options (if ur able to tolerate them). Try a google search. Good luck to you!!

Unfortunately, I can't eat meats yet. Only fish...and I am NOT a fish lover at all. I will eat tuna, but I'm Tryin to get Protein in with tuna and eggs. Unflavored protein in tuna is worth a shot.
