What exactly is the point of the Protein Shakes? ?

It kind of guarantees that you get in all of your Protein for the day. I use one for Breakfast to get it out of the way. The one I use had 25 grams of protein...

Protein helps your body to heal quicker after the surgery. It repairs all the cut muscle and skin.

I simply could not eat enough to get the recommended amount of Protein in per day for several months post-op. My plan had you try to eat as much Protein as you could during the day and then have a Protein shake at night to get the rest in.

If I don't get in my Protein 60+ grams per day I stall or lose very little. I find it hard to get in my Protein through food and sometimes I just don't feel like cooking and need something simple like a protein shake. Drinking Protein shakes also helps keep my cravings under control. I also tend to make better food choices when I get in all my protein. I drink a shake for Breakfast and lunch and that gives me 74g of protein. I don't have any cravings for junk after that and tend to continue eating protein for the rest of the day. I will have a least one Protein Shake per day for the rest of my life

ETA: I also breastfeed and exercise regularly so my protein demands are pretty high.

I use the Isopure dutch chocolate powder which has 50g of Protein for 1 serving (2 scoops). With my shakes I mix them with milk and milk has about 12grams of Protein. For one shake I only use 1 scoop (25g protein) and mix it with 1 cup of milk, which adds up to 37g of protein total. I wish I would of done this soon after surgery because I wasn't meeting my protein goals and I think that's why I didn't lose so much in the beginning. Isopure is also low in calories and carbs (2 scoops equals 200 cals and 1 or 2 carbs).

ETA: Instead of drinking all 50g at once I just break it up into 2 servings. I mix it with 1% milk and it's a good way to get my Calcium.

Is it tasty?

my nutritionalist says our bodies will only absorb 25 grams of Protein MAX .so , using more than 25 grams at one time is a waste of money .

My Protein Drink has 42 grams of protein... They were recommended by my dietician ... I'm so use to them now, I can't go without.
