scrambled eggs for protein

I feel for you @RedDeerGuy1.
I’m going through the same thing now. I’m on antibiotics waiting for a root canal.
I couldn’t eat for two days. I did start easy with canned soups and mashed potatoes.
Good luck!

Greek Yogurt – has more protein than regular yogurt.

Cottage cheese

apple sauce

bananas

peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

You can also try Ensure, not a food but still ways to get your protein and such
Emergen-C I think it is called also. Just in case you are having a really bad moment of pain or something and cannot eat

@SergeantQueen Great idea.

@SergeantQueen Emergen-C is a vitamin C, over the counter, megadose for when you think you’re getting sick.

SQ beat me to it.
I was going to recommend Ensure Max Protein.
Just don’t over do it. One of the little drinks is like a big piece of steak. I suspect one could get quite ill, if they drank too many.

I get them in the 30 packs from Walmart. But the 4 packs, are usually about $13, which seems expensive, until you consider that each contain can count as a meal.
They are great for breakfast, or after the gym.

In the meantime, you could try adding something like V8, or something with fruit/vegetable nutrients. Some of the V8 splash drinks contain a days vegetable/fruit intake in each serving. It’s NOT the same as fresh veggies, but you don’t have to chew it. If your teeth or gums hurt, freeze the V8 and eat as a cold slushy.

Hope you feel better, big guy.

I almost passed out from not eating after getting my wisdom teeth out. They were fully sideways and it hurt so bad.

My boss made me sit down, drink apple juice and eat a magic cup. I bought a protein drink for lunch. It helped.

I’ve used an alternative to Ensure called Premiere Protein, which I find at Fred Meyers/Kroger. A bit cheaper but still loaded with the “good stuff” we need and so far I’ve found the taste okay. I tend to have some of both on hand, usually their chocolate flavor to sate my chocoholic taste buds, but have liked the other flavors I’ve tried, too.

@AlaskaTundrea I’ve seen Premier Protein at Costco, and I just googled to see if it’s a meal replacement. It’s not a meal replacement, whereas Ensure is a meal replacement. They said it doesn’t have enough nutrients to be a meal replacement. For the short term I am guessing it’s ok but it’s not a good long term solution, whereas Ensure would be.

Protein Shakes.

@all Thanks. I had canned carrots and mushrooms, with spam sandwiches. Was ok. Hard to open my mouth with the spam and sausage buns.

Will put spam with mushrooms and carrots tonight.

Creamed spinach (chopped spinach mixed with cream cheese) is nutritious and requires no chewing at all.

I’m thinking of egg sandwiches.

I ordered a quesidia from Boston Pizza. Will try a bite when it arrves.

Quesidia was perfect. Easy on my teeth.

Baby food. Whether it’s from the old fashioned glass jars, or the new squeezable kind.
To avoid gross tasting baby food…. avoid anything with meat in it.
But there’s plenty of baby food that contains things like peas, potatoes, oats, etc. And it tastes good.
Tube Food for fighter pilots would also be excellent, but it’s too hard to procure at the moment.

Fruit baby food is really good. I wasn’t brave enough to try the other ones my kids got. At least they smelled good.

I just had 6 large scrambled eggs for supper.
Dentist check up tomorrow morning.

Will check my dental options then.

I have been having two butterscotch puddings with generous amounts of Cool Whip.

Carrots and mushrooms are not protein rich. The last suggestion I gave you still stands. Also, eggs and nutbutters as well as oatmeal will give you some protein too.

Will order milk and blueberries. Maybe some egg sandwiches.

I just had an egg sandwich!
