I am, I've been trying to figure out how to create a topic and cannot figure it out for the life of me smh. That seems like an excellent idea, I didn't realize they made flavorless powder, I will definitely be buying some, thank you so much! Is there one you recommend? I've only eaten those things yesterday and the day before which is when I lost the 5 lbs, I found it crazy that I didn't lose weight until I ate, the problem is they don't want me at the stage until march 5th at my first post-op appt, they only want me on fluids inc. shakes, I just can't tolerate them. My fluid intake is great, I drink all throughout the day and the night with no problem at all. I didn't want to advance my diet without permission, the nausea was too much for me. The shakes would've probably helped it but I can't drink them without getting nauseated by them also Now my concern is the weight loss. The only way I seem to be losing weight is when I put the pudding, yogurt, etc in my diet which isn't what I'm supposed to be following. Its like a catch 22. Do I stop eating it which I'm really not eating much of, more to put my crushed medicine in to coat stomach or do I stick to liquids and not lose anything and remain nauseous?
