So I got my resolves from my ultrasound and my gallblader is fine! I got my labs backs and my protein levels and low and I need to get more protein in, which I already knew! My vitiman A and D are also low. Everythings else was really good and my surgeon is really happy with my 60lb lose in 3 months. I'm going to force myself to drink a protein shake everyday to get more protein in. I asked him if there was a protein pill I could take and he laughted and said NO! I tried! Lol Happy Easter Weekend!

That is great news about your gallbladder.  I'm glad that is one thing that I do not have to worry about.  I had mine out after I had my son about 6 years ago.  

I LOVE my protein shake.  I'm sure you will be able to find one that you will enjoy!

I drink one Premier protein drink a day, it's sold at Costco and has 30g of protein. Along with my three small regular food meals, I'm able to hit my daily protein goal.

I'm not sure if it's sold anywhere else, but for me....it's a lifesaver!

Good luck to you!

I found premier protein at Sam's club, just under 20 dollars for a case. I loved this stuff before surgery...not so much now. I wish I did...low sugar...30gm  protein...I thought I had found the answer. Give it a try...u might like it.

Same with me. I liked them before and not so much now. I'm going to force myself to drink them.

How about mixed with coffee? My favorite is a nice iced coffee drink! I brew flavored coffee and let it chill in the fridge. Then I add in 1/2-1 scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder, a packet of truvia, and some unsweetened almond milk (chocolate or vanilla). Shake it up in a blender cup with ice. So good! Sometimes I add in sugar free coconut, caramel, or vanilla flavoring. Right now I'm using Target's brand of whey protein and it's actually not bad at all.

Also, so glad it's not your gallbladder! I'm happy to hear you're doing so well :-)
