Question:
How many grams a day?

I'VE HEARD DIFFERENT AMOUNTS 25-90 A DAY. ALSO WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU EAT AND HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE PROPER AMOUNT, I'VE TRIED MANY OF THE PROTIEN SHAKES AND REALLY CAN NOT DRINK THEM.THANKS FOR ANY HELP :)    — SHELLEY C. (posted on March 28, 2001)

Shelley~Just my two cents worth, but I TOTALLY agree with you, the protein shakes I've tried so far are A-W-F-U-L!!!!! I actually get the 'gags' pre-op looking at the can on my counter! I can't imagine trying to drink them post-op, (which will be in 5 days!!) BUT, there is hope! I totally agree with Lee Anne's previous post. The ONLY way to go is Vitalady.com! Michelle's Extreme Pure Pro is GREAT! I LOVE the grape! Honestly tastes almost like kool-aid, and has 26 gms of protein in 8 oz! Order a sample and give it a try, I promise you won't be sorry. Best Wishes and Good Luck on this protein issue!

Shelly, It also depends on the type of surgery you had. Someone with a BPD/Ds is going to require more protein grams than a RNY because their stomach can hold more food. I don't think I would go below 60. Best wishes

I am using designer protein chocotate mixed with RC cola Red Raspberry. RC is made with splenda. Also the strawberry (designer ) mixed with the Tangerine RC is good. Remember mix small amts one half to three quarters cup of the liquid to a scoop , thats less to ingest!
