Can't stand it! Makes everything taste yucky. So far the only things I really like to eat are the homemade broth my husband made, scrambled eggs and jello. Cottage cheese isn't bad, too. I drank a protein shake for breakfast with added protein, but yuck.
 
Do you think I need to worry about getting enough protein? So far my goal, 5 days out, is to make sure I stay hydrated and to eat properly so I don't end up in pain. I only seem to eat protein at this point, and I make sure I eat my multivitamin every day. Do you think I'm doing a bad job with my diet?

I think it's good to start getting enough protein as soon as you can.

Which brands have you tried?  I'm guessing not that many at just five days out.

How have you tried fixing them?  Added to foods?  In cold shakes?  In hot drinks?

I've used 2 kinds. I've added them to protein shakes, broth and cottage cheese.

And what didn't you like about the shakes and the broth?  I'm guessing that it didn't blend into the cottage cheese very well.

I just don't like the taste. Everyone was right, things taste different to me now. SO sensitive to salt! My stepdaughter sent me some RAW Power Protein Superfood Blend, and I bought Trader Darwin's Soy Protein Powder at Trader Joe's.

I suggest trying some other brands.  Many of us had to try ten or more before finding one we liked.  But they also taste different depending on how you fix your shakes.  Check out the recipes on bariatricfoodie.com.

 Hold your nose and chug!~

You need the protein.  If you don't get in the habit and can't find the taste now, you won't do it later.  If you don't have enough protein your body will break down it's own muscle, including the heart, to get some.  Don't put off the protein.

This is coming from the Queen of hating protein, but I choke it down as often as possible.  There are sites to help you find ways to make it taste better, but it never does for me.  I found Pure Protein is the one I can stand, that and Atkins mocha flavor but it only has 15 grams of protein so that isn't a lot.
