1 month

its been a month since my surgery and I've lost 25 lbs...my nutrient thought I would lose more, but my surgeon thinks I'm right on track since I don't have that much to lose. She said if I made sure I stuck with 40-60 grams of protein I would have more success, I have a hard time drinking that much protein which is what she wants me to do I take a few sips and I'm full..is anyone else having this problem.

I go for my one month follow up this week it will be interesting to hear what they have to say. I managed to get all 61 grams of protein today from food granted some was milk but I'm trying to get all my protein from food as I don't like the drinks and haven't been too happy adding it to other foods. Sounds to me like you are doing good.

It used to take me nearly an hour to drink a 10oz protein shake.

Yeah it's crazy and frustrating

Yes!! But last night I had a glass of milk to reach my protein count and I swear I could have drank the whole glass in 2 or 3 swallows. I didn't but if felt that way!

I wish I could drink milk I'm lactose and tolerant

I don't know if you would tolerate it, but I drink the Fairlife skim milk - it's high protein and lactose free.

Does it taste like lactaid?

I've never tried lactaid. To me it tastes just like skim milk, I don't notice anything odd about it.

I just thought of something, my grocery store does stock some single servings of fair life -- in where the single servings of chocolate milk are. I'm not sure I've seen the skim milk version there but you could check --that way you could try it without the commitment to a full bottle!
