I am going to be increasing my protein up by adding another protein shake and replacing another snack with a better protein substitute until surgery on Thursday to help get my body ready to starting healing quickly.

Good Morning and definitely TGIF!!

Tess, good luck with all the tests, I really am so excited for you...Im living vicariously!

Good luck with the tests. Increasing proteins is very wise.

Nice day today and good weekend ahead.

I received new protein powder (egg whites) and tried that this morning. 1 hr after - I get low BS. Not sure what is going on.  I had very balanced "meal' and that should not have happened. Unless the proteins have sugar. Not sure how to test that.

 Does anyone knows how to test to see if the protein powder have sugar added or not?

eats today:
PB butter
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 Tbs walnuts. (ate that and crashed)
1/4 cup cottage cheese, flatout wrap, cheese. (to offset the crash)

not sure what else.  ...
