Topic: Protein supplements?
What are others doing for extra protein or to ensure they get in at least 60g per day? I am having the WORST time getting in enough and can't find a shake that I like to save my life!!! I have heard whey protein powder and protein bullets?
What are you doing?

Topic: RE: Liquid Protein
Hi people!
Walmart Whey Protein made by Body Fortress~
8 oz milk( non-fat dry)...2 scoops powder/choc...1 tsp peanut butter 310 cals/61 g Protein
You can fluctuate to get less calories by using less protein powder, or water instead of nonfat dry milk, or no peanut butter....but the taste is the best!

Hi~
Didnt the Drs give you an eating plan? You should be in liquids for 2 weeks after surgery...strained soup as in Cream of chicken..all low fat, no sugars....jello, water, protein powder....things like that!
Did you have support group meetings? I had surgery May 21st, and have lost 15 pounds,...do you walk?

I don't know what you should be eating, since you are banded and I'm not, but I know for RNY'ers the first thing we're usually asked when we say we're hungry is "Are you getting all your protein in?" If you are short on protein you tend to feel hungrier faster. Just a thought?

Call your Doc and talk to them, breathing problems are nothing to play with. As far as the bladder infection symtoms are you drinking plenty of fluids? And if you had a foley catheter during surgery you could very well have a bladder infection.
Best Wishes,
