My surgons nutritionist insisted that we need protien shakes and would for a while....well I was starving when she said this and did not have the mental abililty to question it. As I started drinking my protien and feeling human again I realized that if I eat three meals a day, even mushies and add a class of milk I get all of my 70gms of protien I need. If at the end of the day I have not had enough protien I can add a shake. This is a great topic.......
