My Doctor said that I was not healing and I need to bump up my Protein. He said if I dont things could bad. I didnt want to know what that could be. But now I wish I would have asked him. However I will increase my protein. I really was not getting the mininium in.

What did he mean by "not healing?" Did he take an x-ray or a different test? Would like to know if you don't mind.

I know you need Protein for healing. I think if you do not get enough protein, you would be at increased risk of infection.

Keep an eye on it. If it gets ANY redder, give your doc a call. Better safe than sorry!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
