My Dr. says I have to get 60 grams of protein in a day I'm having trouble
doing that, I try to drink the shakes buy they gross me out, to think of drinking another one makes me ill. All I want to is drink water, I tryed putting powder protein in water yuk!!! Is there any thing else I can do? I need help!!! Monday will be a week for me..

Debbie you can always try the Whey protein vials. They have them 24 grams of protein and 42 grams of protein. You can get them at your local VitaminShoppe or you can get online and order some. They are a little expensive but so worth every penny. Debbie hang in there. It can be rough the first couple of weeks but it does get better.

Hi Debbie , I also can't stand the shakes but i did find a protein powder called designer whey at wallmart I mix it with powdered milk and yogurt and a little fruit it is pretty good. It's about 25grams made this way.

I Am Post Op. Boy I Wish I Was . Not Even Per Op Either . Fighting Very Hard For My Surgery To Happen. As For The Protyin Drink . I Have The Whey . Yes At First Its Gross, But Then I Started Mixing It With Apple Juice. Then I Got To Thinking I Will Start Baking With It , And Now I Love The Shakes And The Bake Goods To . The Do Have A Fruit Flavor . You Can Get This At A Health Food Store.

The Atkins aren't too bad- the chocolate, anyhow, but I have to have them very cold or over ice. Special K Protein water isn't bad, you get 5 grams of protein, but it's water too! The lemon is best, I think the strawberry-kiwi tastes too icky sweet. Make a milk shake, add extra dry powdered milk. Hang in there! When I was allowed soft/pureed food, I added powdered milk to my soups too when I pureed them.

I agree with Denise.. the vials are only 3 oz of fluid.. and 25 or 42 grams of protein. I have the "blue" ones.. and they arent horrible.

Do your best, but don't drive yourself crazy. The first two weeks is mostly about staying hydrated. If you can do that, great. Next - is protein. Try anything - dry milk - sly stallone's protein pudding - whatever you can think of.

so what do you do with the protein vials?? How do you use them?

you just drink them... they are liquid. Some dilute them

Early out I didn't get in much protein at all. I could not tolerate protein drinks. Now saying this, if you can get in the protein...its much better for you. Do what you can, don't beat yourself up...focus on getting in all your fluids that you can. Try cream soups made with milk, cocoa with skim milk powder - they all have protein.

I use the vials now, just drink them back...no mixing and its 25g of protein for a few. oz of liquid. I wish I had them early out.
