well keep your head up.. its not too long when you move on to the next stage.. i remember the hell month i went through 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after surgery bari-clear diet.. My dietitian and doctor preaches protein protein protein so that is all I know.. All I can say is that you made it this far, and it is baby steps to a healthier new you, so keep strong and always been on the look for differnt drinks out there or differnt recipes. I personally love Muscle Milk Light cookies and creme and this all natural protien powder made by life-basics found out sprouts.
