That's what I"m supposed to be eating each meal. I only have to worry about lunch and dinner right now as I still get one eight ounce Protein shake a day. I am not allowed to snack so that leaves getting all the protein in my meals. The problem I'm having is that I can only hold two ounces of meat at a time and I'm limited to chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese. And as of yesterday, I'm supposed to be adding non-starchy veggies to each meal. How am I supposed to eat all that?! Any suggestions or ideas?

I love my protein shakes. I make "mocca frappes" coffee, chocolate protein powder and ice and blend. I've lost 68lbs in almost 3months, my hair is so very long and thick, unlike presurgery, and my skin is amazingly clear, again, unlike pre-surgery. There's no way I could get my protein in without it. None. I can't eat more than a few tablespoons at a time or I'll puke. Shakes are the only thing besides soup that don't make me ill.

I was warned that blending things would put to much air in the drink and cause gas pain. Have you had any issues???

I have not had any issues with gas pain since week 2. I am three months out now. I told my doctor how I blended to make it palatable and he said it sounded delicious, lol I first had a protein shake (or whatever they call it) at Starbucks and it was weird but okay tasting and i, thought, I can improve on that! And I did...best thing I ever "figured out" because I can't stand that powder! Try it on a weekend! That way, if you do get gas, shhh, no, one will know!!!????
