Help! 3 days at home on clear liquids ( juice, broth, Propel). Feeling really weak, cold and shaky. How can I get some protein? What are you eating? Otherwise, not in pain, walking around the house, even doing stairs.

I have found a protein drink that is already made up and comes in different flavors. They are 2.7 ounces and each one contains 25 grams of protein. I drink 2 a day and get in 50 grams of protein. It makes a whole lot of difference but being weak after surgery is normal. There are some days that are better for me than others. The webite is www.protica.com Good luck and feel better! Love, Kennie

I have all so tried the protica ( one flavor so far) I really liked it. I mixed mine with water and it helped the water go down. How ever then found out Dr. doesn't want me to do protein drinks for awhile. ( I had sugery on Feb.6) he said it could do damage to my kidneys. So now I wait for the go ahead. Thanks Rhonda

Omggggggggggggg...really? I have been doing protein drinks since I had surgery on the 6th too. But I did not know that it harms your kidneys, I am going have to talk to my dr and see what he says on the 22nd. Thanks for the info! Hugs, Kennie
