26 Days Post Op First Solid Dinner

[GetBack_095 87]

Recently read over my book and noticed i was allowed alot of foods so i decided to make my first dinner. Grilled ground turkey patty with onions and green peppers and spinach with added Protein. Only ate about less than half a turkey patty and 1/2 cup of spinach but it was delicious. Whats left should get me by for the next 2 weeks if i even eat it.

That was my first time adding my unflavored Protein to my food. Next time i will add the Protein powder to half a cup of Water until its a pancake like batter then add it to my food. It broke down in the spinach pretty good but not as good as i wanted it too.

I didn't do that good getting the meat down. For now it would be a less likely part of my meals lol, other than that i felt good.

I had the same problem with ground meat at first also. For whatever reason, it didn't go down easily and it was a bit painful once it was down, yet I had no issues with shredded chicken for whatever reason. Keep doing what you're doing....the best advice I could give is take a bite and WAIT a few minutes to see how your sleeve accepts it. Best of luck!

I've seen on some other posts and blogs where people who have trouble getting meat down, make a little bit of a dip to help moisten it - think greek yogurt with some herbs and spices added. Might be worth a try and the yogurt will give you more protein!

I was wondering what brand unflavored Protein do you use? I bought one and cant stand the taste. It has that sour milk taste to me. Im still on Clear liquids mostly. Im supposed to be going into purees but im to affraid and honestly everything but ice Water feels to heavy or just taste bad.

thanks. I'll look into it. I finally got some almond milk with iso-100 powder and Peanut Butter down last night with no problems.
