I need Help

I have been noticing that I have not been taking down enough protein can someone give me some pointers on the protein thing and also my incission is beginning to peel is there anything I can put on it.

Hi Kim. I take 2 protein shakes a day. I use the berry flavored American Whey. I LOVE it. Also, I found some foods w/ protien that aren't too bad. One I found that may be GROSS to others but works for me is potted meat. It's purreed and has 12g protien. 0 carbs, 0 sugar. I add some squirts of mustard and eat it w/ a fork. Don't know if this would be appealing to you or not. I NEVER would have touched it pre-surgery, but now I'm finding I'll do what it takes to get in my protien....even if it means eating potted meat!!! I had Lap so I don't know what to tell you about the incision. I would say it would depend on if any of it is still open or not. When I had my C-section I was able to use a gentle lotion on it as soon as it was all closed. (I used baby lotion) Good luck! How much have u lost? You're 3 days behind me. I'm down 15. Wi**** was more but glad that I'm losing!

what kind of protein shake is that and where can I get it from.

I am in the pureed stage

Hi Kimberly, I had my surgery that same day you did. I have trouble getting in my protein as well. Tonight I tried canned crab meat w/Just 2 Good Mayo. It was good, but I could only get in one ounce. I seem to do much better with fat free refried beans and cheese. I was doing well with Tuna also, but haven't tried it in a week. As far as protein shakes, I like the Slim Fast Low Carb Strawberry and the Injury shakes. I tried the EAS French Vanilla and it was awful! My incissions were peeling as well. I just used a lufa in the shower to get the skin off. Of course, very gentley. Good Luck to You! Luanne 334/307/160

The protein I use is called American Sports Nutrition. (American Whey). I got it at GNC. It was about 50 bux for a 3 lbs tub of it. I use the Wild Berry Blast. Ask for a sample first. I do beleive almost all GNC's have a satisfaction guaruntee to give you your money back if you end up not liking it. Double check first. Good luck. Cheryl
