    I used the program drinks Lahey required, each protein shake contained 25g of protein low fat and definitely kept me full. Post surgery I thrive on the protein powder I get at Walmart , they have 30g of protein and are low fat and taste yummy, I found the carnation to not carry enough protein to sustain me and get all my required protein in post op and I still use them 3 mths post op and down 70lbs Sent from my iPhone using VST

    What are you going to be taking for Protein shakes during the phase? Sent from my iPhone using VST

    I loved all food prior to surgery and am still restricted 3 mths out from pork and beef, funny thing I find myself enjoying veggie items like burgers and such rather than anything else, and my tummy prefers it, I dont even see myself eating beef again, and I'm able to get all my Protein in still, anyone else?

    I have HP and was told I would have 250 copay, I never received a bill! They were by far easiest insurance to deal with, I was submitted on a Friday approved on a Monday! Sent from my iPhone using VST
