Protein, Protein, Protein

The biggest thing I've felt since surgery (3 whole days ago) is a lack energy.  Why?  Because I've consumed almost nothing to fuel my body...no protein.  I'm sure everyone's programs have stressed the importance of protein like mine has.  Please listen to them, they are right.  Drink protein shakes an seat hight protein foods, you will feel better.

The shake I'm holding is a Unjury Chocolate blended with milk which will give me 29 g of protein once I finish it, almost half of my daily allowance.  I'm not going to kid you, it will take me a while to finish one of these, but the benefit is well worth the persistence.  

Do yourself and me a favor, get your protein in.

Enough preaching, sorry.  :-)

Something they drill into your brain when preparing for surgery is that you need to get enough protein.  Given the restricted amount of food I can eat postop, protein shakes will be my new best friend.  The pic above is of the bullet blender and all the sample protein shakes I've been trying.  This is my protein kit, as I call it.  I'll be living on these so trying out through sample packs was a great idea and thanks to my wife for thinking of it.

Anyone getting ready for surgery or postop and looking for something new, get yourself sample packs, it's a great way to try out flavors and brands...not all unflavored drinks are the same.
