Is this normal?

May 27, 2014

I'm still technically in Phase II - post op.  My surgery was 05/07/2014.  I'm trying really hard to get the daily requirement of protein and water.  It's SUPER hard to get that protein because so many of the protein drinks taste like sweat. . .and the protein shakes taste like wet cotton.  I hate them all!!  SO, I've been trying to get my protein through the scrambled eggs and broiled fish.  Mushed mushed and more mushed. . .NOT pureed cause I can't stand the thought of that.  I also had grilled chicken breast and chicken thigh.  Really tender and I make sure they are moist.  But since I don't have a kitchen scale, I don't know the exact number of ounces.  I just guestimate.  Since my scale stopped moving and I'm not even a month out, I don't think I'm getting enough.

Is this normal??  Any suggestions or anything else I can do to get the protein in?
