Please Help!

I did Carnation low carb instant breakfast mixed with one tablespoon of dry milk powder (for the extra protein) and a squirt of hersey's chocolate sauce!

I like the slim-fast too. I've also used vanilla spiru-tina powder blended w/milk & frozen strawberries.

You will be OK if you spend two weeks with a little less protein, while you are healing. In the long run, yes, we need to make sure we are getting adequate protein but don't stress about it during this phase. (unless you are doing it per doc instructions or to keep yourself from feeling hungry)

Protein shakes aren't even on my doc's liquid suggestion list. Various dairy products are probably enough to help with the protein aspect.

Probably another way that different docs vary in their post-op instructions.
