Soft Food Stage and Protein
VSG on 06/27/12
I'm at that stage and am having a very hard time getting protein in. Or anything actually. I am so over shakes... Ugh.
One thing that helps is my protein frozen yogurt. Basically take a container of 0% fat Green yogurt, blend it with about 1/4 of skim milk and a scoop of some fruity or chocolately protein powder (I use Unjury) and then freeze it. If you close your eyes it tastes like TCBY. Sort of.

I really like Unjury Chicken Soup - it's savory, not sweet, and low calorie. I had a shake in the morning, and the chicken soup at lunch. Then lots of Greek yogurt, tuna and whizzed up chicken.
I love love love Optimum Nutrition's Carmel Toffee Fudge, and Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle. BUT I just discovered (thanks to acbrown) Syntrax Nectar Double Stuffed Cookie and it is so good I hope I don't get all compulsive about it. I have one scoop in my coffee every morning. I could get all my protein from food now, but it is a lower calorie protein "shot in the arm" before I start my day. I will probably continue this for a long, long time. I don't like to eat too soon after getting up and this has been a great substitute.
