(OK, maybe 'to death' is overdramatic) Sleeved the same day as SParkle, 6/10/10, not in pain (no pain meds), but the stomach was giving me fits for most of the days. As SParkle can attest, I was up at 2:30 AM, unable to sleep. I WAS HUNGRY!

Doctor said I needed to get in 70 grams of Protein a day (5'9"tall, over 175cm), but I didn't get how I could possibly get that much in. Now I do!

Spoke to the nutritionist and she recommended some Proteins powders. For me I need something that has at least 7-8 grams of protein per 2 oz serving. Drinking every 2 hours, sipping on Water in between servings. This means that I can't really do pre-mixed and I need to mix my protein with skim milk.

Stomach feels much better, not gurgling as much and I think I will be able to get a good night's sleep. Got a shower in, clean clothes... Wonderful day!

Congrats! It is totally a learning process so we are all right here with you!

Don't know if you have HEB there in McKinney, but it you do, try the Mootopia milk. 12g of protein per cup and fewer carbs! I also have been drinking th Myoplex carb control (the one that has 24g protein per drink (11oz) and then adding in 1/2 scoop of Jay Robb Egg White Protein to boost it up to 36g of protein. Also, I have like the Jay Robb Chocolate Egg White protein (1 1/2 scoops) with 8oz of the Mootopia which has 42g Protein and you only have to drink 8oz (its seems like more once you add the protein to the milk) I am trying to get down two of these a day. It takes me about an hour to nurse one drink. I also added 1Tblsp of the SF vanilla (or carmel) coffee syrup to the vanilla and or a good squirt of the Hershey's SF choc. syrup. Actually not too bad......(I had surgery 6/8)

braums has a fat free milk and one cup has 13 grams of protien! it is awsome, yesterday on my preop i just drank the ff milk all day instead of the protien drinks
