I am for smoothies and Protein drinks. Most of the time, I do get my protein from foods, but sometimes, my tummy just doesn't want food. And a protein drink is an acceptable choice. My surgeon is totally okay with a protein drink or two, so long as they are instead of a meal rather than in addition to (he made the distinction when I asked if it was okay to continue protein drinks in the morning) Most mornings, I have a shake rather than food because it sits better. My tummy does not like food before 10 a.m., and since I'm generally awake and on the move at 5 a.m., I need something to fuel my morning. The shake does it.

Excellent point. This is the one thing my therapist has said from Day 1...attitude will make the difference between success and failure, so I've tried to maintain a positive attitude throughout the process. It really does make it easier when you think positively

Great article I credit counseling for helping my partners and I stay on an even keel. I expect there to be bumps in the road, but I'm hoping we stay strong through them.
