Protein

I have been on my liquid diet some days now and it ts really hard for me to get the protein in. My surgery is this thursday and I worry about how I will do portein after if I can not stomach it befor. How much of a problem will this cause? Thank you Keri

Hi Keri, I can only say it is very very important to get your protien in. It not only is for the mal absorption that we have to deal with, but it helps with healing and also for your hair and nails. You just need to try different flavors and mix it with flavored water, or sf koolaid, or crystal light. You can add sf flavoring to it also for a different taste. Try whatever it takes. Even if you buy the unflavored protien and add it to your flavored water or sf jello or sf pudding. Whatever you need to do to get it in since you will not be able to eat enough for a very long time. We also only absorb half of what we eat, so do your best. Good luck Soos
