Won't the carbs/sugar in the chocolate milk make you sick?

Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I also added protein powder to my liquids at that time

My understanding was that more than 30 grams of protein per serving is kind of wasted, as you can't absorb it. However, especially early on in the process, protein shakes seem to be the most popular way to keep the protein up, with protein foods when you get to that stage . . . Greek yogurt is a good choice as long as the sugar/carbs aren't high (e.g., see this site for a breakdown of the protein and carbs/sugars in various yogurts: http://www.eatthis.com/best-yogurts-for-weight-loss)

Good luck!

Protein water has helped me a lot


Bone broth really helped me out early on. It's easy to sip, tastes good, and you can cook meat in it for 2x the protein! 1 cup is 35 calories and has 9g of protein

Milk, lifeway protein kefir, plain greek yogurt
