It has been quite an xperience! Surgery on Mon. Home on Tuesday. Plenty of pain. Plenty of pain Killers. Still no energy. Can't lift much. Need lots of help (which I have). Can shower on my own. Using a cane for stability. No problems with liquids, no problems with protein. One thing interestng, however, I don't like Crystal Light any more! Don't like SF JEllo or popsicles. In fact, don't want anything too sweet. SO not like me. It's like a switch got turned. If I'm craving anything, it's a grilled shrimp!

Hey there, Bill. Collis here. I'm a 63 yr-old guy who is scheduled for tomorrow. Like you, I'm concerned about getting liquids and Proteins in. Also concerned about getting exercise. I have serious mobility problems. I think I'm up for the challenges, however. From the real time support groups I've attended, I think it will all be a matter of priorities: 1. liquid, 2. Protein, 3. Exercise. One thing I have figured out is that I like Isopure whey Protein Isolate in Crystal Light. I'm aware my tastes may change by Tuesday or Wednesday, but if can still tolerate that combination, I should be ok. Will try to figure out this site more and will try to be in touch.
