Getting protein

[Ilovecats1985 100]

I am a week and a half post op. My dr wants me to get at least 60grams of Protein a day. I am really struggling with it. I've tried Premier Protein, Isopure, isopure unflavored mixed with things, and I've tried nectar. None of them sit well with me. I am forcing nectar down as we speak but it sits like a rock in my tummy and I never reach my 60gram goal. It worries me I am not getting my protein, does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Keep trying. There are loads of Protein shakes and drinks. Some find it helpful to add greek yogurt to them, some mix them with milk (dairy or nondairy), some mix them with Water. Some need to thin them out with extra Water or dress them up with nut butters or flavor enhancers. Also look at foods that are high Protein such as greek yogurts, kefirs or cottage cheeses. Play around with temperatures. Some need room temp, some prefer ice cold. Take teeny tiny sips and walk after eating. It's really all trial and error, keep testing until you find what works for you.

Order a sample pack from the company called Unjury. The Protein is thin like milk and doesn't seem to sit heavy on my stomach like other stuff does. They also have a chicken broth that is awesome. It might be worth the try.

I \m 2 months post op and still struggle to get my 60-70 grams of Protein in. Premier Protein drinks are my savior. I don't always get all it in but try hard and just had tests done and all is well with me.
