I am having a hard time getting in all of the protein and water. The only thing I can say is I use Synrax Nectar and Matrix and add 1-1.5cups of FF milk and emersion blend it. So the numbers are 23gms of Nectar protein and 8-10gms of Milk protein = 31 to 33gms of protein for each drink. Also, I use Premier Protein from Costco/Walmart = 30gms. Now if you can get in another 10-20 gms from 1/4-1/3 of another shake you will be golden. In the mean time, I drink SF Arnold Palmers in the tubes, Crystal Light, water, SF popsicles, chicken broth from the packets in the ramen package. There have been many days when I haven't gotten all that I need in. One day, I just was fet up with the shakes and boycotted them. Yuck!! What I was told was that I can add more milk or water to it. If you do, you can add the extra on to your fluid intake. So, I watered it down and drank it will day. I just suggest you start early. Have one in the am, one at noon and one at night. In between, drink the clear liquids.

Thank you so much! I am feeling better. I am still trying to get in enough liquids and protein. What a process.

Good Luck! I know your doctor wants you to drink the Bariatrics stuff but Syntrax is having a sale on its Nectar Sample variety pack there are 12, 1 oz samples with shipping for 13.99. Just go on to the website and call the phone number. Nectar and Matrix was made for bariatric patients and has protein isolate as the first ingredient. It is just as good as the Bariatrics stuff. Some of them are amazing tasting. I especially like Matrix cookies and cream and strawberry. Yum!

Why don't you work with a dietitian to see what you can do? Unless you got your surgery in Mexico, you should have this already built into your treatment plan.

Great writing! Good Luck!

Awesome picture! Are you lactose intollerant? You might want to try a different protien powder or some Lactase before you take your shake.

Oh and I heard you can take Beeno with your beans and brocolli to stop gas. Good Luck!

Woo Hoo I figured out how to reply to the comments.

Barbi, thank you for your comment. Visalus is a pyramid company that wants people to make money more than they want people to lose weight. So beware. If you go an Amazon you can buy it cheaper without the sales people. It really is good. I bought a bag for $40. Not cheap but it tastes like cake and it contains what is recommended by the MDs. Oh I just remembered they will send you a free sample.

Good Luck in your weight loss journey.
