I need more protein..

I am having diffucult time since having surgery September 28th. I am just as confused as when I started. I had an Open RNY and have not healed yet. I was just put on a wound vac about three (3) weeks ago. I get so depressed. I am confused about what i should be eating? if i eat a little of something I start to blech uncontrollable? WHY?? I have only lost 50 lbs. that's so bothering me.I also find myself very tired and moody, It's a struggle for me to take all my vitamins. Can anyone help me?? Also I need a good protein shake to drink because I am not getting all my protein in. I sometimes don't want to eat due to i don't want to throw up or I will cause myself to vomit if i feel the food isn't sitting right. HELP. Thanks Nina

Hi Nina 50 pounds is awesome, are you kidding? 50 pounds gone for good!! that is so great. I can't wait to hit 50 pounds it is a milestone!! You are probably tired and moody because you are not getting your vitamins and enough protein. I know it is hard I struggle to but I try to space it out as much as I can some days I do better than others but we are still learning. I have done chicken broth with egg whipped into it, Chocolate Carb Countdown has been my savior 8 ounces is 14 grams protein, my dad has made me soup and pureed chicken into it. I also get very nauseous when I eat and do much better on the liquid/purrees. I also do ok with Ricotta, cottage cheese and egg with cheese in it. Good Luck, keep us posted Keep on Keeping on!!!

hi nina i also have a big issue with protein and found that Met-RX Protein Plus is awesome! it comes in prwder form and if you only use water it is 42 grams of protein for 16oz, 2 sugars and it is soy based. they taste great and can be bought in a vitamin store. good luck! shea
