Everyday I'm beating myself up for not getting in all my protein.  I'm supposed to get 80-100 grams a day and at this full liquid stage, I'm finding it near impossible!  I've been drinking several protein shakes a day and trying to use skim milk to add more protein, but it's so hard!

I sooo hear you! I am a few days behind you. I am actually doing pretty good getting fluids in. But having such a hard time with the shakes and protein. I was told 80g a day. Right now I can get down 2 shakes. I need to start making them with milk as well. I am having a very hard time with the sweetness of them all of a sudden. I am not a big fan of sweet stuff anway. I am looking for other options. I have been having 2-4 cups of skim milk a day and I think that helps push me up to pretty close or right there. 27 grams each shake. 8 grams per cup of skim milk. Hmm, now that I really add that up actually I am meeting my goal. How many grams are in your shakes? I am taking in more carbs than I want with all that milk. Plus I have been having thinks like really runny/liquid cream of chicken soup. Cause it settles my tummy better than the sweet shakes. I guess I am just going to not worry overly much on the carbs at this stage. Once I can have more options I think I can get that number down.

Good luck to you! Hopefully some of the old timers with experience can help you out.

Try Unjury unflavored protein powder in your mio or crystal light flavored water.

I do Premier Protein. Each shake has 11oz and has 30 g of protein.ink one for breakfast and one in the evening for a snack.  Without this,  I do not think I could do it. My pouch is so teeny that it is too hard to eat and get the number of prtein grams I need daily. I too can get in my fluids so I drink alot of mine. Good Luck, Sharon
