    Unjury Unflavored

    Does Unflavored Unjury really have no taste? Can I mix it with water and it not alter the taste?

    Strained soup

    Is strained soup something I can purchase or is it something I do at home? If I do it at home, how?

    Sneezing :(

    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

    Help, am I full?

    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?

    Unjury Unflavored

    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.

    How do you puree?

    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?

    NO ENERGY!

    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.

    not enough protein..

    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

    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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Heating pad and vicodin have been my bestfriend.I sleep with it, wake with it, and everything in between. Wish my heating pad plugged up in my car. p.s. I am day 3 post op.

    Pain reliever

    As long as its not a NSAID,you should be fine. Contact your physician to make sure,
  20. Im so excited!! Its actually hard to believe I had the procedure done. Im in no real pain,besides the pain when swallowing anything and it gets to my stomach. I am truely blessed. Im glad it was so easy. Surgery done 2/28 @ 10am and discharged 3/1 @ 930am. Let the losing began! Good luck to everyone else.
  21. I can understand that. I have to keep reminding myself that this is temporary so that I dont start crying. Hang in there. This too shall pass.
  22. I tried the heating pad on my stomach last night after tossing and turnin, and wow its my new best friend. I wish I had one I could plug up in my car and take it with me. Thanks for the suggestion.
  23. I took someone elses advise and Ive been using a shot glass and sipping from that. I now know what kind of sips to take, so hopefully it wont hurt once it gets near my stomach.
