Who still uses supplements?
Hi everybody!!! I lurk alot and don't post (so sorry) but I do check on everyone. Everyone is doing so well!!!
I was just wondering if anyone was still doing protein supplements. My nut told me to get in 70-100 grams of protein a day. Well, I was (all through food) but went to the surgeon last week and they still want me to supplement until I'm 2 years out. They said even if I'm getting at least 70 from food that I'm not absorbing!! Grrr. I wish I could get a straight answer. Of course, I'm going to follow what my surgeon says but was just curious was to what everyone else is doing.
What type and how much if any are you consuming?
Thanks
Denise
hello Denise!!!! Missed seeing your beautiful face!!
I still do protein shake at least once a day and sometimes twice depending on the protein my fussy Ethel pouch will let me eat. Meat is still not her favorite for sure, but I do cheese, cottage cheese and SHRIMP Yummm....I do shrimp in a salad almost everyday with Balsamic salad spritzer and greens and strawberries and Salad Pizzazz with dried cherries, cranberries and pecans another yum....I average 80-100 grams of protein a day.
Glad to know you lurk but really have missed you...you are such a success story!
Love in Him,
Joan
You are always so sweet!!! I am going to try and post more. I have been really busy with school and am out now so have lots more free time.
I've missed you all!!!

ps - My surgeon wants me to take 1-2 supplemental protein sources a day to get at least 50 from supps. He wants me to do this until I am 2 years out. Which will be in about 11 mos.
So good to hear from you!!!
