I have been on the protein shakes since March 3rd. I only found two that I could stomach and one is getting harder and harder to swallow. I am sure getting in the protein will be one of biggest challenges. But, going into to surgery knowing that makes me work harder to prepare. I am having the surgery in Slidell.
