Sick of Protein Shakes, 4 more weeks!

[TexasGirl86 37]

I need some encouragement/advice guys. I feel like throwing my little 2 oz cup of Protein Shake against the wall! And it's only been 9 days :(

When do you get to start puréed and soft foods?

When do you get to start puréed and soft foods?

Girl it's so weird, there is no puréed stage.

It was stage 1 (post op) 3 days clear liquid

Now stage 2 (5 weeks) full liquids. Protein shakes, juice, blended Soups, thin oatlmeal, apple sauce. Everything should slip through a fork

Stage 3- says "regular solid foods" - consume 3-4 healthy small meals each day + Protein supplements if needed.

Select tender meats, veggies, fruit. Flaky grilled fish, low fat chicken salad.

I also didn't have to do a pureed phase. My surgeon's office only does puree for RNY procedures. If you are sick of your shakes try dressing them up, add a tsp of sf pudding mix or sf Torani syrups or PB2. Sometimes just changing the flavor helps.

I do one that I love that is like a starbucks frappuchino, I use 8 ounces unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop vailla Protein powder, a tbsp. of sf torani caramel Syrup and a squirt of Folgers latte drops (just like Mio but coffee) blens with ice and voila! Makes a 24 ounce shake and has only around 150 calories and the Protein Powder I use is 27 g Protein.< /p>

Good luck!
