Protein whats that??... I cant even get in enough calories for the day, so protein is on the back burner. I force myself to eat because my stomach is never settled. I eat more TUMS than food. I found that because I am trying to get in my fluids more so than my food because of the constant dehydratrion status i have had since surgery... I drink Slimfast with low carbs, also Pediasure which has low carbs also. The pedisure goes down smoother and i have managed to accomplish drinking all 8oz.. (yaay me!!) So i get in at least 16g. I have not experience hair loss, but then again my look is forever changing :thumbup: I just noticed that I bruise easier than i used too. However my healing is fine because I got two new tattoos and they both healed great.... and thats without my Flinestone Vitamins... (note to self... start taking vitamins) I hope there is a better method to get in the protein....
