Sick!

Well, I have been sick most of the week, and I am really having a hard time getting my protein in. I have had a horrible sore throat and headache etc....and I haven't been eating much at all. I am lucky to get in one meal a day the last few days....So, has anyone else gotten sick since the surgery and if so, how are you getting your protein or are we ok for a few days not getting near enough. Today I have only gotten 15 proteins...

I had the cold and throat thing a few weeks ago. I just drink my Carb countdown choc milk and protien suppl the protein was 32. i was able to do one in the am and pm and for lunch i had some soup

Well, I have a band but from what I understand we can go 2-3 weeks before our bodies really start to cannibalize muscle, etc for protein. I know my surgeon puts people on liquids that are clear for a couple weeks and in my experience I was none the worse for wear. Not real happy, but ok. I would call your doc real quick and ask for some suggestions though. good luck! am

PRO-STAT 64 Taste horrible, but only 4tbl spoons is 30 grams of protein. Mix it with apple juice and its ok.

Teresa, I don't have any advice to give you, I just wanted to say I hope you start feeling better soon. As for the protein I'm sure you will be fine. Try to get in as much fluids as possible. Maybe try some crystal lite and add some protein powder to that. Good luck and feel better! ~Angel 222/187/120 Lap RNY 11/10/04

Hi Teresa, I was sick for over a week. I drank protein shakes and had Campbells Low carb soups the days I felt really bad. Hope you feel better Sweetie!! Summer
