hek1127 166 Posted June 24, 2013 No I haven't! powder or is it already made? The muscle milk light is what my nut recommended. It was the only Protein Drink I like. I would recommend the ready to drink over the powder. Surgery: 6/26/13 HW 370 CW 326 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarjblack 29 Posted June 24, 2013 So my doc told me NO Protein Shakes or anything that doesn't come from food. Problem is, I don't feel like I'm getting enough Protein. I'm hitting maybe 25g a day and that's me eating as much protein packed things I can find. I'm only like a week and a half post op. I just feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't in taking some extra form of protein. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deaddemmama 474 Posted June 24, 2013 I'm required to make up my Protein with supplements. Sixty grams of protein is like 6-8 oz. of beef...no way could I eat all that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graceann0888 145 Posted June 24, 2013 Went in for my post op today. 5 days out from surgery and I'm down 7.5 lbs. God is so good because I am feeling great. Drove myself to the doctor today. Haven't had pain meds in days. My back and stomach start to feel really tense after I've been up and about for a few hours but that's really it. 2 zuzuspetals and countrygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
