I drink Bariatric Fusion Meal Replacements because its 27grams of Protein per 6 oz shake. Even higher protein #'s if u make it with skim milk....

Hi Panda

Where you buy those shakes? I'm drinking Bariatric Advantage w/ 8oz of skim milk so i just have to drink 12oz to make it 60grams. When did you star taking your Protein? I started at the hospital on my 2nd day, then got d/c and my surgeon told me to continue on Clear liquids but to slowly add Protein to my diet.

So I did today I dranked 6oz and those were pushed cuz I get full so easily, even w/water. I just passed my 1st down bellow gas sorry if is TMI but I wanted to share my journey! I haven't have any BM yet but I'm taking it easy, I'm walking inside home, pain still comes and go but is it subsiding and I'm felling much better as right now, my back and neck are much better thank god!

Keep you all post it later

I bought the Bariatric fusion online. Google it. Day2 all i could drink was Protein meal replacements....now i just have 1 a day for breakfast...when i eat a lowfat yogurt I mix 1 scoop of beneprotein into it. Its made by carnation and can be purchased at certain drug stores. Its odorless and tasteless. I mix into almost everything I can to get the protein value up. You can google it also...it's what they use for people who r on feeding tubes but u can add it to food....
