Why is this even on my list?

Aug 13, 2010

So, I was very excited to be advancing to full liquids yesterday! I planned a special trip to the store to get some of the things the doctor's list says I can have now... The first 2 things on my list are Cream of Wheat and Cream of Rice... So, I headed straight for those... I picked up the boxes and checked out the nutrition information... Both of these items have around 22 g of Carbs per serving... And, 2 g of protein... So, this is a carb item, not a protein... Why would I eat this?? I don't understand why that's even on my list...

Mind you, almost everything on my full liquids list is a carb food more than a protein food... I had already figured this out when I made myself some cream of mushroom soup. The soup has 1 g. of protein per serving... So, the only protein in it was coming from the milk I made it with. How am I supposed to get up to 100 g of protein if I'm drinking protein things that are giving me maybe 6 g of protein per 8 oz?? It's crazy...

So, I guess I'll be drinking a lot of protein shakes from here on out, cuz there's no way I'm going to let my protein fall even more than it was on clear liquids... I'm trying to build protein here people! Seriously!

I ended up buying some greek yogurt, and that was it... I don't know how I'm gonna eat it cuz it's unflavored, so I'll be adding something to it to make it taste better, I just don't know what... lol...

Huggles!!
