I decided to start using up my unflavored Protein powder. I mixed a banana yoplait yogurt, soy slender and a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder together in my magic bullet.

I have never had a Protein shake fill me up as much as this one did. I can't even drink my Water

cause I am so full and I drank that hours ago.

I thought the yogurt by itself would need some liquid. Next time I will use less soy slender.

Dr. Aceves told me to stick with 3 meals a day of solid protein to get used to living as a sleeved person and discouraged protein shakes. I don't get in 60-70 grams of protein but I had blood work done today and all is good.

I like to drink a Protein drink for Breakfast. I don't like eggs or any of the breakfast foods. It's way easier for me to drink a Protein Drink for breakfast and at least I know I am starting the day with 20 grams of protein.

I think Dr. Aceves has his opinion but my band doctor who also does a lot of RNY's and is starting to do sleeves for people who are requesting a sleeve encourages people to drink at least one protein drink per day and I respect his opinion just as much as I respect Dr. Aceves.

My surgeon also suggests people use protein shakes so that they can be freer to try other things -- like veggies -- at meals. I have one pretty much every day for breakfast and he thinks that's great.
