I'm FLOATING AWAY
Okay Vets!
The last two days I've been drinking two 30 gram protein drinks, (one for breakfast and one midafternoon). With all the fluids I drink added on I'm really not hungry for anything else! Since we only absorb 50% of our protein that means I'm getting 30grams a day. Oh MY!
Any recommendations? I want taste, crunch, real food! Guess I'm getting a bit impatient.
Other than that, everything is going great!

You are doing super! Count that as 60 grams of protein and don't worry about the DS math. Hang tight-- you're ahead of the game, real food with crunch will be soon.

It sounds like you're doing great to me. I couldn't even force myself to drink 1 protein drink when I was where you are. You're not that far out yet (well neither am I)...but just wait until your surgeon "allows" you to eat "real" food. It will be here in a couple weeks! Once you're there you will have more options. Guess what? You won't have the room for all the good things you've been wanting...so it won't be as exciting as you hoped. At least it wasn't for me. LOL
Keep up the great work!
