need help

ok, so I had lap band surgery last week on Thursday and have lost 12lbs with the liquid diet...i'm tired of the shakes and jello/pudding....i'm feeling a bit weak...can I drink an additional shake or what can I do?

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love these! Oh Yeah protien shakes! Its like having a YOHOO chocolate drink! Premade so a little expensive, but worth it to get through your liquid phase. Comes in smaller sizes so you dont have to have 32 oz.. Vitamin Shop, Body Alive & Nutrition Smart  sell it, some times they keep single bottles in a fridge in store, so you can buy one bottle and try it before committing to a flavor. You can ask to have the box half & half with the flavors, I have never been told "no". Come in different flavors (strawberry, vanilla, banana,cookies and cream), nice a thick consistency no chalky taste. I have mixed the flavors together (half of 1 flavor w/ half of another yummy!!!!!

Don't fret, this is only a phase! also there are flavorless protein powders you can add to broths!I tend to be satisfied having some sodium in my liquid, its not like I have a high sodium diet on a regular basis.

Hang in there, you are not destined to this phase forever,

I didn't worry about how many calories I was consuming as a new post-op, and don't see any harm in adding another protein shake, but I think you should talk with your dietitian about it first.

Oh Yeah! is AWESOME! I love the vanilla and chocolate. It's not 32 oz. though. It's 32g of protein.
