Banana cream shake by Muscle Milk.

Does it come in the "lite" because the reg has to many carbs in it for me.

Yeah it does, I think. There is another brand called Pure Protein. I haven't tried that one or checked the carbs on it.

Surgery went well. No setbacks. I got home Wednesday night. Tried to stop the pain meds last night. Still a lot of stomach pain. Went back on them this morning. Feels like someone hitting me in the stomach! I came home 15 lbs heavier than when I went in. I have lost 9 lbs since getting home. I'm going for walks, drinking my Water & for a treat I eat a SF Popsicle! Life is good and I am taking it one day at a time! Love to all!!

I also remember reading a thing about a ricotta bake sounded delish! You mixed the ricotta with seasoning just like if you were making a lasagna then pour it in a pan cover with sauce then sprinkle some mozzarella cheese and bake

I'm on puréed foods too. I have 3 meals consisting on one of the followings day: Fat free Retried Beans, tuna fish or canned chicken, low fat cottage cheese, blended light yogurt, part skim ricotta cheese and puréed chicken or turkey are on my list for Protein sources. My serving size is a quarter to a half cup. If I still don't feel satisfied after that I can have a quarter cup mashed potatoes, puréed canned carrots or peas or green beans, cream of wheat, mashed sweet potatoes, or acorn squash. The second half of the list sounds best to me but usually I feel satisfied from the protein so I don't get to the second half of the list. I also have to drink 2 Protein Shakes a day still and of course Water water water. Hope this helps.

For the protein I have the answer you must weight every thing individually and count the protein that way best way I do it is sample ill write every thing on a food log that way next time I make it I just have to weight it 3.oz chicken 12 gm protein 1/2 cup of green bean 7 gm of protein and so on hope this helps
