Hi Mel, It will keep getting better. Once you get a system down that works for you there will be no stopping you! Linda

Hello Mel, Welcome to the loosing side. You really need to listen to your DR. He yelled for your own good. Try to get that protein in 1st thing in the AM. 1/2 of a scoop or a whole scoop of the unflavored Unjury in everything you take in. Crystal lite orange and grapefruit needs 2 scoops for the 2 qts. I put it in soups, cereal and chili. Get creative. Try a little at first, then go for the 20 gr in 1 scoop. It dissolves well and truely has no taste to me. I also use the Isopure strawberry powder. 2 scoops in 10 ozs of skim milk = 60 gr. I mix Trader Joe's Hi/Lo cereal with the unjury and some skim milk and voila , 30 grams of protein. You need the protein and the fiber to keep your levels up. It also promotes weight loss and regularity. Happy hunting. Try to stay focused and positive. ((HUGS)) Elissa

The process has begun. More protein, faster healing. May your recovery be rapid and your progress be sure. Keep up the good work, Mel. My surgery is in eleven days. By the time I get out of the hospital, you'll be well on your way and able to offer sage advice on how to overcome the protein paradigm. I'm looking forward to your success. Diane Cook
