Does Unflavored Unjury really have no taste? Can I mix it with water and it not alter the taste?
-
Is strained soup something I can purchase or is it something I do at home? If I do it at home, how?

I know what you mean. I developed a cold somehow last week and i had sneezing, coughing, and runny nose. OMG, that sneeze is no joke, and I was driving when it happened. Worst pain ever. All i could do was cuss. Lol. I found that letting the sneeze go instead of holding it in, doesnt hurt as bad. Also Ive been using a neck pillow for the past couple weeks, i put it on the painful area before coughing or sneezing and it helped alot. Today is the first day IVe been able to breath out my nose. I still dont know how I got sick, Ive been in the bed for weeks, only out to take my kids to school. Sucks. Hope you feel better

Im day 5 post op. I was able to eat and keep down tomato soup with a little sharp cheese on it. OMG, best tasting meal in weeks. The entire time Im eating it, my stomach is gurgling. It didnt hurt or anything but I dont know what it means. When I got to the end of my bowl, about 1/4 cup, my stomach is still growling at me, then I feel a slight full sensation or is it a hungry sensation? Why cant I tell if Im full or still hungry? What does it feel like?

Is it worth purchasing? -
Unjury Unflavored
caramelbaby10181 replied to caramelbaby10181's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Is it a sweet taste? Im tired of sweet. My protein shakes are becoming gross, my broth sounds disgusting. I need to get my protein in somehow, any suggestions? BTW, im day 4 post op. -
I know it sounds dumb, but I dont like to assume. I just want to make sure my definition of pureeing is accurate. So to my understanding pureeing is putting your food in a blender, adding a liquid, and blending it til its baby food consistancy. Does that sound about right?

Im on day 4 post op and all i want to do is lay in the bed. Protein shakes are gross and this reflux is kicking my butt. I keep telling myself that this too shall pass, but Im just trying to make it withoit getting dehydrating.

Does Unjury Unflavored really taste unflavored? Can I put it in water and not taste it? My vanilla shake is starting to sicken me, I need something else to get my protein in. -
Taking forver...cant seem to finish protein
caramelbaby10181 replied to goya's topic in Food and Nutrition
I am day 4 post op and I am in the same position. I am so weak its ridiculous. It took 4 hours yesterday and I still didnt finish. Today took a hour and some. I finally got applesauce and water down without major discomfort, but I dont know what Im gona do about my protein. The smell of it is becoming nauseating. Think Ill try strawberry next time, but Im sick of sweets. Id kill for some scrambled egg whites and tuna right now. Trying to keep from crying. -

Yes heating pad will be awesome. I usually do 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off. Your gonna wish u tried it long time ago. My heating pad has a automatic shut off, which helps at night so that I dont burn myself while sleeping. -

Milk of Magnesia helps, but be prepared to be near a toilet at all times. Dont fart or it may end up being a shart. -
FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved
caramelbaby10181 replied to DivaNurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh yes, my back was so sore. I couldnt tell if it was because I slept wrong or if it was gas. But I woke up this morning and no back/neck pain. The heating pad wasnt working on my back so I put it on my stomach and I heard the angels sing (relief). I was also sleeved on 2/28 and the stomach pains are not as bad as yesterday. Still hurts a little when I swallow, but I can tell that tomorrow will be even better. Hang in there. This too shall pass. -
