Re: 4 weeks today- Protein Drinks

[Guest guest]

Hi there-

I am only two weeks out and I was trying the protein shake thing and

it was making me sick also. Then a nurse from my surgeon's office

suggested getting some Silk- they have it in chocolate flavor and it

is a soy based product so no lactose in it. Anyhow, I mixed this

with some protein powder and a little ice in the blender and it went

down really well. I managed to pack in about 40 grams of protein.

Anyhow, you might try something like this.

I have had a really bad reaction to any supplements so far

otherwise. I tried blanace bars and they made me really sick, I

think it was all the sugar in them. I was nauseated for hours

afterwards. But for some reason I tolerated the Silk stuff really

well.

> The only thing that really bothers me is the protein drinks

Good luck!

Amy, my mom drinks Silk. What a great suggestion, I'll swipe some

from her and see if it works. Thanks so much!!! Meli
