Dat Girl Pinky 0 Posted March 29, 2012 I had my surgery on 02/02/12 and I have been doing good for the first three weeks with the Protein Shakes, since then I have not had a Protein Shake because I don't have a desire to drink it. Am I missing anything if I don't drink the Protein shakes? Besides me feeling sleepy I'm perfectly fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted March 29, 2012 Protein is an important for healthy cell repair and development. Also, affects Hair loss etc. We need Protein to repair our bodies after the surgery and gives us energy. I myself drink the Protein Drinks called Premier chocolate protein drinks from costco. They also sale them at Sam's Club. This satisfies my sweet tooth. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldenraisin214 142 Posted March 29, 2012 You should do something to substitute the Protein you were getting from the shakes. Lots of companies make 3oz liquid "shots" that are 25g each, or Unjury makes a protein chicken broth powder (21g per serving). You will start to feel the lack of protein eventually (fatigue, slow healing, etc). Hope you're able to find something that works for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Back~To~Amy 307 Posted March 29, 2012 You don't have to drink the Protein Shakes or do Protein Shots so long as you are getting your required amount of Protein in which can be done with foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dat Girl Pinky 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks everyone I will take it into consideration. I will try Protein Bars. I just left my appointment and happy to hear a total lost of 60lbs but I have to do better bout Protein intake. I hate chocolate but could swallow a pill better. Do anyone know of a protein pill maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Back~To~Amy 307 Posted March 29, 2012 I think I heard Protein pills have very little protein in then so you'd have to take a ton of them. I'm sure you can find info if you Google it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie713 423 Posted March 29, 2012 nectar makes a slew of fruity flavored Protein blends you mix with Water. Look the flavors up on the internet. The chocolate/vanilla shakes are not for everyone taste. Also, Isopure is a Water like drink with Protein.< /p> Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
