No I haven't! powder or is it already made?

The muscle milk light is what my nut recommended. It was the only Protein Drink I like. I would recommend the ready to drink over the powder.

Hello hek1127,

A drink my nut recommended for something that is tasty and you can carry ( i commute to work here in Philly) and has 16 gr of protien and counts towards your fluids is Gatorade G3.... found it at target for $1.59 per bottle its not bad ...kiwi strawberry has a " unique" taste. but the other flavors are not bad. hope this helps :-)

So my doc told me NO Protein Shakes or anything that doesn't come from food. Problem is, I don't feel like I'm getting enough Protein. I'm hitting maybe 25g a day and that's me eating as much protein packed things I can find. I'm only like a week and a half post op. I just feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't in taking some extra form of protein. Any ideas?

Your not allowed Protein Shakes? Wow that's crazy. Did he say why? I'm not allowed to have regular food for 2 more weeks, that's after the purée stage. ???

I'm required to make up my Protein with supplements. Sixty grams of protein is like 6-8 oz. of beef...no way could I eat all that!

The first 2-3 days I was on clear liquid, then day 3-7 I was on purée foods, now from day 8 - 4 months I'm on soft foods.

Did I actually have wls cause my scale sure isn't reflecting it. It hasn't moved in a week. Kinda disappointed.

Jeep chick42,

It will move, your body is in turmoil, give it time the weight will start to fly off so fast people will have to duck!

I feel your pain.

[graceann0888 145]

Went in for my post op today. 5 days out from surgery and I'm down 7.5 lbs. God is so good because I am feeling great. Drove myself to the doctor today. Haven't had pain meds in days. My back and stomach start to feel really tense after I've been up and about for a few hours but that's really it.
