I didn't think to add Protein Powder in my broth. What a fantastic idea!

No real hunger, but definitely weak. Going to try to get two Protein Shakes in today, which will be 320 calories and 60 grams of Protein. I mixed a chocolate and vanilla one together since they both taste better diluted. I also thinned a bit with skim milk, so there is a bit more Protein coming in there.

The shakes actually taste pretty good, so that's a good sign. Hope I can get it all down today.

I have no idea how you are getting so much liquid down, but that's awesome! We are doing well!!

Oh I haven't done it yet That is my goal for food type stuff. I am struggling getting enough fluids down. The shakes are going down easier than expected though.

My blended Isopure Protein Shake 4 oz with skim milk and ice goes down the smoothest, Water has been tough weird I know.

Ack! I just tried to add plain whey Protein powder to hot chicken broth but it wouldn't dissolve. I was a trooper and tried it anyway and umm ewwww nope no go!

It probably was too hot. I have the Unjury chicken Soup and it states it can't be boiling hot. Trying letting the soup cool prior to adding the protein

[MxKitty 93]

Okay thanks for the tip I'll give that a try

[Positive44 103]

I agree it may have been too hot. Keep stirring it with a spoon and it will dissolve.

[Terance ✌❤️???? 48]

I have heard no hotter than 140 degrees F for Protein mix ins. Otherwise it will kind of gel up.

Anyone been on the scale yet? I'm nervous and thinking I'll do it next Tuesday.

I'm going to give the Protein powder in the broth thing another try tomorrow - I'm way turned off by trying to drink it earlier when I messed it up! haha.

I'm in my kitchen today prepping for full liquids that I get to start this weekend and I thought I would offer to teach anyone who might think it helpful how my make your own plain greek yogurt. I know those containers at the store get pretty pricey week after week. I've been making my own for about 3 years now and its crazy easy - usually only costs me the price of 1 gallon of milk so around here its about $2.59 a gallon. Making it the first time you'd spend another $1 for a starter plain greek yogurt. Anyway, a batch lasts me nearly 6 weeks and I share it with my wife and 4 year old. So if anyone is interested I can post the "how to" later this weekend.

Cheers I hope you are all getting your fluids in!!! 38oz so far for me

I'm down 7.8 pounds since surgery Woohooo ????????????

Swallowing is so weird now. It's like you can feel the liquid stop at a certain point and then drain on down. Very odd.

It does! That is so weird!!!
