I haven't rushed out and purchased a bunch of stuff, I do realize that it is common for tastes to change so I'm working more on trying to find a handful of ways that are all so drastically different from each other that I have a great chance of at least ONE of them being semi-tolerable when supplements are just not optional.
Like Beth was saying about trying hard to get the protein from 'real food' I am all over that idea as soon as it's doable. Unless I lose my desire for yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese and etc I think I'll be doing fine once I get my diet progressed at my 4 week visit.
So far my most tolerable medium for having protein supplement is to mix unflavored unjury with yogurt. I found a greek yogurt in my organics aisle that packs 15g of protein in one container (one container would probably be 2 servings post op).
I'm also tolerant of the chocolate unjury made like chocolate milk (when I can get the lumps out that is).
I'm definately going to pick up some powdered milk and try out a few permutations of those recipes to see if I can figure out a way to make a high protein coffee that doesn't taste horrible.
Everytime I've tried to do a combination of unjury powder with milk and ice I get a frothy mess that makes me want to hurl. Maybe what I need is some advice on how to make a good shake in a blender that doesn't have 4 inches of nasty FOAM on top. Any ideas?
