How many protein shakes a day!???

Like Jen I do 2 a day and one meal of protein only.  Food is sucking to me right now anyway.   I have looking for a blender because I have been craving veggies and so one of my shakes is going "green".  Thanks to DocHollywood's receipe I will be trying this out and seeing what combo I like the most.  I'd chew on a carrot top right now if I had one!

Eh, I still use one or two a day.. depending. I do a protein coffee in the morning as bfast- with Nectar unflavored, either 20 or 30 grams depending on how I want it. If I'm low, I'll have a Nectar flavored one in the eve to get to my 70-80g goal. Nectar is one of the few I really like, so it's not an unpleasant thing for me. I can only literally fit in 2oz of meat per mealtime and that's it! So, unless I want to eat 5x a day, I'm using the shakes.

I don't understand the sip for a long period of time though, I drink them like I normally drink water.. have you been having hunger issues? Maybe she's thinking this would reduce the hunger issue?Otherwise, I'd just drink like you'd normally do..

Im having acid reflux issues - and because I work in a court room from 8-12 (and busy like hell) I usually can only carry water with me, but she wants something else in me, and not going more than an hour (after i eat) without something...a mix of water/protein. She's hoping it will keep the acid down in my stomach.

It's a pain in the butt, and i'd rather eat 5X a day than take another sip of protein, but i'm just gonna suck it up and do it. I got some EAS/Muscle Milk to mix it up with the premier shakes.

 I'm on two Premiere proteins a day.  One for breakfast (no food) and one in the afternoon as a snack.  I can still tolerate them and I found I like the EAS vanilla shakes too.  Those ready made shakes are larger in size and have 42 grams of protein.  I'm not sipping over a long period of time though.  Did you see Dr. Stahl at Kaiser West. L.A.?  I go see her at the end of the month for my two month follow up and I wonder if she'll tell me the same thing.
I found some cool bottles at The Container Store that have an insulated sleeve inside the bottle.  You freeze or chill the bottle, pour your drink in, and it "should" stay cold all day....we'll see....
Hang in there and good luck!  We'll get there!

I had to see some lady named Miramadi....she works in internal medicine.

She only told me this because 1) my 70 g of protein is not enough (despite great labs) and 2) reflux issues when i go too long with no food. 

She wants me to have minimum 100 + g because as she put it "im a big girl" (really dumb ass, i missed that part!!!)

I'm not really happy with the follow up care -  Selah is never available and the doctor was in a rush as usual. Ughhh. I just hope the reflux issue resolves with this new protein thing.

Well, I start my day with a heated Click with added Starbucks Via. It gets me off to a good start. If I'm feeling empty in the evening I'll have half of a shake then, too. But to sip one over a 3 hour period of time? Ick! Forget it! Ignore it - bad, stupid advice. If your protein needs are being met and you're losing weight I'd say keep on doing what you're doing.
