Protein shots have high amt of protein for small fluid volume. Also add unflavored protein to everything-- soup, pudding, yogurt, drinks, etc. I had same surgery Nov 2010. Trust me. Do everything u can to get your protein.0

I am on month 5 of my 6 month pre surgery program. I am very excited but also now starting to get nervous. I am not a big water drinker and still struggle with this. Someone mentioned here about getting enough protein. What is that about? Thanks0

I had GBS in Oct 2009 and have lost over 120+ lbs. I don't regret it and wish I had done it sooner. In the early stages you will have some problems getting in your water and protein, but just don't quick, try some amounts and realize they do add up and it is ALL worth it! Good luck!0

Yes, small amounts through out the day! I think we get overwhlemed at 8 oz, so sip slowly and consistently. I made up a schedule to make sure I got all my water in and protein, not easy, but well worh it. I have lost 120+ lbs and maintain well. Just riv up my game with 6 day a week exercise and have dropped another 10 in the last month. My GBS surgery was 10/09.0

Keep water around all the time, sip, sip, sip. It all adds up. I use a powdered milk product called Sanalac for additional protein. you can add it to anything and it adds very little volume.
