Protein sucks!!

This clear protein sucks!!! I can't take it anymore. I thought I had been doing good but I have only been getting like 20 grams. No wonder I am hungry and weak. I gotta get this stuff in. I might have to get the prostat and choke it down a couple times a day. Rachel

Hey Rachel, I'm glad that you're doing good. I don't know if your doctor will let you have these or not, but the Extreme smoothie, chocolate dream is really good and it doesn't have an after taste. They have them at the Vitamin Shoppe by Lowe's on Woodruff road in G'vlle. They have 35 grams of protein in each 11oz can.; 12 for $24.99. Also, you can order protein drink powder from SmartForme.com. That is what they gave me in the hospital. The orange and wild raspberry passion are very good. They are 7 packs for $13 or $14. I hope this helps. Just keep sipping as much as you can. Hope to see you soon at one of the spartanburg meetings again. Donna

Rachel, Are you still on clear fluids??????? Lady D liked the stallone puddings right after surgery, I did not. Go ahead and buy some Any Whey protein powder and put it in EVERYTHING!!! The protica Profect drinks that are on an ad, to the left of this post, are only 3oz and have 25gms of protein...but use this tip.....pour over ice, and drink slowly and I had to eat a couple of saltines after each 3 oz to choke it down. It is the best tasting, the isopure is pure nasty to me. http://www.vitasprings.com/optimum-nutrition-any-whey-protein-powder-60servings.html ANY WHEY http://www.global-nutrition-inc.com/sh-009.html Protein Delite...now available at The Vitamin Shoppe, By Sci Tech. I personally like the Milk Chocolate...tasted like a Wendy's Frosty, and I liked the Mixed Fruit one, with Pineapple and Banana, it was awesome. You are also weak because of surgery and just make sure to drink some Propel...helps with electrolytes and energy, take your vitamins with something on your tummy, like let a saltine dissolve in your mouth, and sip your broths and runny grits, warm things felt better on my tummy than room temp, and ice. The only cool thing I thought felt good was the slushy propel in the magic bullet...ice/propel, blend. Get rest honey, and take care!! You will be up and around in no time! Deb

Yes , our doctor keeps us on clear liquids for 10 days after surgery and it just PLAIN SUCKS!!! I'm just working on getting in my liquids for now and next week when I go on full liquids I'll drink some protein. That will be better. Rachel
