Oh, do I want something chewy. or crunchy :-(
I'm trying hard to give myself variety with foods, but this liquid thing is the pits. The major pits.
I almost never want to see a protein shake again, and I'm not even a week post-op. I've been trying different pre-packages ones, plain and with some extra Protein powder mixed in. I still seem to like the EAS and Slim fast ones the best. I did buy some at Target (ooo market pantry on sale) that I will be trying or keeping at Mom's house in case I need something.
I drink tons of water and have usually a cup of chicken broth and a cup of beef broth a day - it helps with the "Cheeseburgers Dancing in my head" syndrome. I did have coffee today from our Keurig - yum!
I also bought some Baked Potato soup today. Bad me, but I didn't eat the chunks! Just the liquid part. I did get a piece of bacon that I ended up swallowing, but it seems to be fine. It was heavenly soup, very tasty and it satisfied my "I'm starving!!" - in my head.
AND I finally figured out how to set MyFitnessPal to put me at 80 grams of protein and 800 calories a day!
Next, finding unflavored protein powder that I don't need to buy online. I can't find any!
ETA: I found some! It's by Biochem and is unflavored. I got it at the Vitamin Shoppe!
Fredmeyers has a good section in their natural food sections. I think that was where I got mine when I did Atkins a few years back.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will never be so happy to have mushy foods!
ReplyDeleteI'm no help with the unflavored protein. I buy mine online.
