      I had gas pain the first few days, but it's gotten better. There are times I feel a spasm after swallowing, but it goes away pretty quickly. I would say that I have never burped so much in my life!!!

      How did you get the protein? I struggle with that constantly.

    2. ProjectMe

      ProjectMe

      Breakfast: egg whites, cheese, Lunch: Low fat/sodium Deli Ham, WW smoked string cheese, Snack: Fruit & Nut trail mix Dinner: Low fat/sodium Deli Turkey, FF Chddar Cheese, Avocado, Snack: Turkey Bites. 1 Cup Chocolate Mootopia (milk)= 67g protein & 731 Calories

    3. RJ'S/beginning

      RJ'S/beginning

      Excellent...Better to get your protein in real food then drinks. for the first part it is important to use them. But progress dictates you get it out of food intake...Good for you hun! :)

      I have that same issue. I am trying to lose my 10% preop weight but it's so hard finding a meal replacement drink without that stuff in it. If you find anything let me know!
