Topic: RE: protein problems
Cant wait for that wow moment to come! 
I had the same problems, but I started making my own in the magic bullet and they taste like I am drinking real fruit
I use 90g of 0% greek yogurt = 10g protein
1 cup skim milk = 9g protein
2 tbsp of plain protein powder from cosco = 19g protein
1/3 banana
2 strawberries
1 tbsp splenda
sometime i add vanilla extract
very yummy and easier to drink than protein shakes
good luck!

they are so bitter. I'll try adding the crystal light, i'd forgotten their names. Isopure. I had to go to the GNC locally.
I can't wait to get most of it by diet.

remember, don't do too much at one time, especially since you're healing. I had my surgery on the 11th, and haven't been to the gym yet. I've been thinking about starting this week, so I'm pretty sure tomorrow it is.
Rhythm, it's hard to tell right now. I measure my food 2 oz at a time. I can hardly get through a whole egg, most of the time I don't actually. What you might be feeling is head hunger. I've heard it's VERY common post op. My doctor said we should strive for atleast 60 grams of protein a day, and 64 oz of fluids as well. You're doing really well if you're getting 41 grams of protein in 4 days out!

from my understanding, the protein shot doesn't have the protein that we can digest, it's got colligin protein and we need whey (preferably whey isolate, as it's easier to digets).
There are these whey isolate drinks that my grocery store carries,they're in the health section of the store in glass bottles. It's more like a gatoraid drink. I've heard people mix them with their crystal light, because they're bitter. They've got 40 grams of protein in the bottle!

I had surgery on Thursday and am having a hard time understanding what my tummy is telling me. I can't diferentiate between hungry and full. Can you tell me how you feel with these sensations? I have had 41 grams of protien today and I still think I am starving!

I still get tired real fast. Going grocery shopping yesterday (my kids still have to eat), I got exhausted REAL fast. I came home took a half hour nap (grandpa was here with them), and felt wonderful again.

thank you for the ideas... will definitely try them today!
I did go get some carnation instant breakfast (sugar free of course) and will add some powdered milk to it. That's like 23 grams of protein.

My husband had his surgery on the 16th of Dec, he only weighs on Sundays & Weds and that's it. It keeps him from seeing the daily ups & downs.

Topic: Surgery 1/25/11
Well, day 4 today. I pulled my OnQ pump yesterday per my Dr., but thankfully my belly is still numb to touch. I ventured out for a car ride to Blockbuster with my husband and daughter tonight.
I started out the day with a Carnation instant breakfast with some greek yogart and thought I was dieing! My pouch did NOT agree with that!
So, ive backed off to Proti-diets in water and things have settled back down. I was able to sip some chicken broth as well.
Anyone else out there have surgery this week?
Ive finally taken off the compression hose.........no sexy factor there!!
And Im ready to go and walk at the gym, but I tire easily and feel weak as a kitten.

I'm a scale addict also! It keeps me motivated though. I'm planning a wedding for 3/5/11 so I want to be in the best shape possible by then. I just hope I don't lose momentum after that. Maybe the start of swimsuit season will help! I've been trying to cook things that both my fiance and I can eat. I've had to be creative, but it helps when we are eating something similar.
