My surgery is Mon. Need some info...!!!
I use carnation instant breakfast with no sugar added and 1 % milk. Between the 2 its 14 grams of protein. I have to drink 3 a day, so with just that I am getting in 42grams a day as it is. My "nut" also said that in the first 2 weeks for me I should make sure I am getting in 20-40grams of protein a day. I just had my surgery on Tuesday and with the exception of being a little sore, I am feeling pretty good. Today I didn't even take a nap. That suprised me for sure.
I made the mistake of buying chocolate whey protein and guess what. I added it to cream of wheat and it made me sick so now I have a full container that I can't use.
You will do great on your surgery. I was so scared that I wouldn't wake up because I have a 4 almost 5 year old daughter and guess what I did and I am doing well!
You will do fine! Keep up updated!

Good luck on the surgery. I am 2 months out and down 50 lbs... no regrets. Take ear plugs or an ipod for the hospital, way noisy at night.
I like the Pro Performance 100% whey at GNC,especially the chocolate and strawberry. I just blend with water and ice. Not too sweet and you can add a couple slices of banana to change the taste. I only use about 6 oz of water to 1 scoop. I found if I use milk it gets too foamy and you take in too much air.
Remember when you are feeling better we can travel to some support groups together. I want to try Hazleton andmaybe Allentown with Lynn.
We will save a seat for you on the losers bench!

Thank you for every ones support.....!
I definitely needed it..
It's 10;50 pm. ....and I have to leave at 2:30 am to arrive at the hosp. on time. ( I really don't think I can sleep for the next three hours...!)
I might as well stay up.
I'm so scared and totally excited at the same time.
I hope that on Wednesday when I come home,.. I can come on to our Pa. forum and tell you that all went well... ; )
Well,...Wish me luck,..Susie
