Thanks for letting us know how you are doing! I found it was impossible to even come close to getting enough Protein in until I went to mushies. I didn't care much for the protein drinks, so I only drank about half of one a day. Once I hit mushies though, I had no problems.

Sounds as though you're doing great. I never got in my Proteins on clears or fulls and I'm struggling on mushies - however, I have spasms, so at least I know why. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
