Getting protein in..

I couldn't get my fluids OR my protein in at first. It's hard. Finally I said screw it to everyone that was telling me what I should do and did what I thought was right... I would eat some things but I would pound down my shakes as well. I had an awful time getting the protein that I liked- now I drink premiere protein from costco and SEI from the eggface site. No more gagging for me. At night when I go over my proteins and my carbs and all I see how much I got in and now I just drink a shake (sometimes doubled up on powder) to make my protein requirements.

I do get most of my protein from real food now so it's easier. You just have to find what's right for YOU.

 Thank you all so much!  I had tried the soy milk about 2 weeks post op and I think I may have dumped on that, I was so ill feeling.  So, I've been hesitant to try milk, but may do that in addition to the shakes to up the protein.  I just want to do the best I can and really lose all that I can and I'm worrying since I haven't been able to keep up with the nutrition requirements that I won't.  It's more than likely a totally irrational fear.  But once again I really appreciate all your advice/input.

Tough early out, but food protein is best. I eat string cheese, shrimp, beef jerky, cottage cheese, and of course COD !!! All are high protein.
Keep working at it and you will be fine !!!!
