They're not exactly protein shakes, but Sustagen or Proform powders are available from the chemist (and in a couple of different flavours, I like just the plain vanilla one), and if I were you, I would talk to the pharmacist about having one of those. My mum got me proform while I was pg, as I was hungry too (and couldn't eat much). You can also sprinkle them on your ice cream . Take care.
All dairy food is full of protein :-D So you could make thickshakes with banana, yoghurt and milk. Eat peices of cheese if you can stomach it. Boiled eggs are great too. The only problem with dairy is it won't allow you to absorb iron if you are taking suppliments. Well within two hours of ingesting dairy anyway.
oooo I am so touched, hugs to you all lovely ladies.taking sustagen seems a very wonderful idea too, as at this stage still chicken, meat and eggs are standing Miles away from me.I know like my last pregnancy I would be able to eat properly by 16th week.
Iron is already a big issue its already v low and my first trimester made it even worse I do take care and take my iron pills after two to three hours consuming dairy)
hugs to you all
I meant to say in my above post, but forgot ( ), both the sustagen and proform have a number of vitamins and minerals, including iron and folate, so check with the pharmacist that you don't overdo any recommended dosages. :hugs:
