Update

Thanks, Frankie! Can't wait for you to join us on the loser's bench! Won't be long now! As for the sleeping part, I'm starting to feel like Rip Van Winkle! I'm sure getting enough sleep in lately! Sending prayers and well wishes your way for next week's surgery date!

Glad to hear you are doing well Lisa!
How do you mix your protein shakes?
I still get nauseated just thinking about them. I did good in the begining and then all the sudden got sick of them. I'm getting that way with a lot of my foods now too

Hi Amy! I use the EAS Myoplex Regular Ready to Drink Shakes in the rich dark chocolate flavor. They come in a 17-oz container and have 42 grams of protein per serving. I could never handle the protein drinks that you have to mix yourself. I tried probably 30 different types after my first surgery and finally settled on this brand/flavor after much trial and error. I stick with it because it's about the only protein drink I can tolerate and it does have a good deal of protein and vitamins in it. The only drawback is they're very expensive. I order them in bulk from Amazon.com or the Vitamin Shop.

How are you faring these days? Send me a PM when you have a moment. I have my first follow up appt. with Dr. Buchwald this Weds, Sept. 28 in Minneapolis.
