Sleeved 12/18/2012 - down 46 pounds

I had a dream like that a couple of days after surgery. I dreamt that I had eaten a huge meal and lots of soda. I woke up in a panic thinking I had really eaten all that....and hurt myself in the process. I was still on the liquid pain medicine so I was having all kinds of long, weird dreams.

I add 3 scoops of Beneprotein Protein powder to my chocolate HMR Protein Shakes (made with 8 oz. of skim milk) for 23 grams of protein per 1/2 C. serving. I have two shakes per day. I also eat low-fat small curd cottage cheese for 10 grams of protein. I eat cottage cheese twice a day. Consuming the shakes and cottage cheese gives me 66 grams of protein. Not bad.

I never heard about the awful 2 and 3 week post op issue. But reading about it just now I'm relieved I'm not alone. I'm in week 3 after surgery and have been depressed lately. This diet is hard and I want to eat what I used to! It's hard eating lunch with co-workers who, of course, are eating regular food. Today, one of my co-workers was eating a king-size Snickers and I found myself thinking, "Hey, I could take her!" (Just kidding). ** sigh **

Can you please tell me the brand of protein powder you have? Thanks!
