Mine was one week ago today. You'll be fine All the best of luck.

I was told no dairy at all until week 3. Have been drinking 50% Gatoraide/ 50% Isopure and alternating with a bit of chicken broth and some sugar free yogurt. Can't say that I'm hungry. I did start taking chewable vitamins because I felt that I needed them and so far, so good.

No matter how you slice it, cold broth is gross. Try something that you like.

Sleeved Monday (3/4) and so far so good. Had a Big Mac for breakfast and was okay because I took small bites. Okay that's not true. I have been taking a 1/2 bottle of Isopure which tastes kind of gross and mixing it with 1/2 bottle of Gatorade which tastes kind of good. Bottle is 20 ounces so I figure it should last me about 5-6 hours. A few times I mixed in a little apple juice. Seems to be doing the trick since I am getting about 60gm of protein, some carbs and a bit of potassium throughout the day. Heard a lack of nutrients can make my hair fall out but I shave my head and if that happens it would be pretty cool not to mention convenient. No pain meds for two days. Feel bloated and considered taking a Midol but since I'm a guy, quicky ruled that out. No real pain to speak, just discomfort but I've felt worse. The liquid thing is getting old fast but I just have to hang in there. Have a follow up visit with the surgeon today so we shall see. Hope everyone else is doing as well.

Buy a single bottle and try it. Doesn't taste great but I have had a lot worse. If you mix it with apple juice or gatoraide it's fine. I am drinking that as we speak/type.

Mix Isopure with either Gatoraide, apple juice or both. Tastes fine.

Was just done Monday. Took some pain meds yesterday but feel better today. Stomach still hurts and I am pretty sore but I'm sure in time it will get better. Not easy drinkingso much but I am mixing 1/2 gatoraid and 1/2 isopure in a 20 ounce bottle and driking it over about 4 hours. Feel bloated. don't think I am up to driving but I do have my follow up tomorrow so we shall see. glad to hear you're doing well.

Surgery was Monday and all went well. I am mixing 1/2 Isopure which tastes pretty gross with 1/2 Gatoraide so it's not all that bad. Drinking 3 20 oz bottles a day plus a little bit so I should be fine. Pain meds are helping. Spending most of the day sleeping and walking around the house. Hope everyone else is doing as well.

March 4th as well. In northern NJ. Good luck to everyone!

3/4 with Dr Hans Schmidt @ Hackensack.
