Hi Everyone: I just wanted to remind all of you post ops how very important it is to get plenty of protein in. I thought it was a big joke and and don't meet my quota each day but I found out different today. I had my blood work done last week and today I had my follow up with my GP and she told me I am borderline malnurished. She told me to start drinking Ensures, Boost or something to get my proteins ups. Other than that everything else was perfect. She said my body is litterly starving to death. So I am on my way out of the office to go load up on protein laden items at the grocery store.   So, please, please, please be sure you are getting in plenty of protein! It is so important!! Hugs, Traci

Thanks for the reminder.  I have to get in the habit as I don't get enough.

I'll have to try it. I tollerate cold things well so it should not be a problem. Can you buy them at the vitamin shops? That is where I buy most of my protein. Thanks for the post! Hugs,  Traci Baylon
