I'm two weeks out and was wondering about my protein. I'm on full liquids now so I was wondering if protein shakes are ok now. I bought 100% Whey Protein in unflavored & cookies and cream they had them on sale at GNC. Also do they make any protein powders with 0 sugar all the ones I look at have 1 or 2 grams of sugar

Oh yeah, when I was at your stage, I was drinking protein drinks.  Otherwise, there wouldn't have been protein enough.  I think the sugars in the protein powders are naturally occuring.  No worries.

Amy,

Protein shakes are great.  They all have sugar grams.  1 or 2 grams is great.  It's good that you are reading labels.  Some protein has alot of sugar or carbs so you have to read, read, read!!

It sounds like you are really doing a great job Amy.  I can tell that you are going to be a REAL SUCESS !!

Keep asking and we will keep trying to help!!  You go girl!!

My doctor had me drinking protein shakes as soon as I could keep it down.  I don't know about yours, though.  The protein powder I buy at WalMart (Body Fortress) has one gram of sugar.  That was my main source of protein for a while.  I still love making my shakes.  They are so so good!!!!

It is amazing how different everyone's doctor is....mine is against the protein supplements....he wants protein to come from food....so I can be no help to you on that subject....but I'll tell you this.....YOU ARE DOING SOOOO GOOD!!!

Amy I don't do protein shakes but just wanted to say that the body needs a little bit of sugar.  1 to 2 grams is nothing.  You should do good with that little bit.

Thanxs everybody
