Mel3620 299 Posted July 4, 2013 Your body starts to consume its muscle for fuel if you don't get your Protein. Not a good thing. Did your dr tell you to have a specific kind of shake because there are tons of different ones. I use eas advantedge carb control ready to drink. The chocolate is my favorite and it has 17gr Protein in 11oz. I'm not a huge fan of the powdered kind. But I've started making Popsicles out of it and they are very yummy. And 20gr of protein. When I made Popsicles the powder all settled in bottom. Not very tasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeepchick42 193 Posted July 4, 2013 When I made Popsicles the powder all settled in bottom. Not very tasty. I use a cup of powder and a cup of milk and put it in the blender for a full minute. Makes it really thick. Yesterday I made chocolate ones with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter. O. M. G. Reese's cup!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dani1128 28 Posted July 5, 2013 ladies..try this Peanut Butter. 2g of sugars and 6g of Protein, 7g in carbs. I had a teaspoon of it wonderfull. It's organic and glutten free. What impressed me the best is that it does not have all the oil like regular peanut butter. It's pretty dry!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuzuspetals 78 Posted July 5, 2013 Anyone had the PB2? Yes, I use it frequently. It's not sweet at all so I add Splenda or Torani. I like it in shakes and in Greek yogurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarjblack 29 Posted July 5, 2013 Oh man. Day 20 post op and I feel like crap. The last few days I've been tired, low energy, low blood sugar (light headed when I stand up). I'm eating right, taking all necessary Vitamins, getting in my 64oz of Water. I think this surgery is finally kicking my ass! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristi 195 Posted July 5, 2013 Good morning Hope everyone is feeling better today. I had a bad food day yesterday, as in not enough. So even though I'm allowed pureed foods, I'm having an Ensure high Protein Shake so I know I've gotten at least 25 g of Protein today 1 zuzuspetals reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I felt like that once and it was my protein. I hope your energy kick in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
