I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better. I was very hungry too starting the day after my surgery. I think it may be easier for you to tolerate when you have work to do to keep your mind off it.

Hang in there!

I tried mixing Beneprotein powder to all my liquids. It really helped me feel full a little longer. You can find it at Walmart where the protein shakes are. It is a blue can from Nestle. Hope this can help you too. Good luck.

What are protein bullets ?

What are Protein bullets ?

Protein bullets are a flavored, gelatinous protein supplement packaged in small bullet-shaped (or test-tube shaped) packages. They give you a big whallop of protein in a very concentrated form. I think they're disgusting - I'm not sure if it's the flavor or the gelatinous texture. You can get them in health food stores.

Thanks. They sound disgusting! I am glad I wasn't told about them. I find the Protein drinks enough to get down
