I bought some GNC whey protein and man it taste awful. Anyone have any tricks to make it taste Yummy.......

Try to get some sugar free Peanut butter cndy that you can suck on after you eat your chilli......

I am not sure, I am 3 weeks out of surgery and I feel restriction, but I am not sure if it is more of a mental restriction. I heard alot of people say you wont get restriction untill your first fill. I know you said your tired of soup have you tried pudding pops...... My Doctor said Wendys chilli blended in mixer was fine, Yum that was good.......Also if I got that oh man I need to chew I would eat a gramcracker. I would chew it really well and then keep it in my mouth and let it dissolve. It made me feel like weeeewww I got to finally chew. Just keep in mind its not forever you will get to eat again. Its hard I know but you can do it, your through the worst part.....Surgery....

When you eat a whole hot dog, how long does it take you ? My doctor said that if you take 1 hour to eatsomething like a whole hot dog. Then your giving it time to pass. He said to use a egg timer to help you learn how much to wait untill next bite... I am not sure if this will help...

I am post op three weeks and thats all I have been able to do is sleep on my side..... I rotate between right and left, because I still have alot gas in chest so some days one side bother me more then other side.

I am like you, I dont want to tell people. After my surgery I came back to work any everyone asked how I lost so much weight (15 pounds), I said I took advantage of being off. Got my self on a workout program, and I have been working on eating healthy(Low Carbs). No one asked past that.

I had my surgery on the 23rd and I stil have the gas pain, in my chest and even in my back. I went back to work last week and it has helped because of being up walking. I was given liquid Vicodin and I used it for the first 2 weeks to help with the pain. I had a hernia repaired at the same time. I emailed doctor and he encouraged walk walk walk, it helps get the gas out also alleve. I hope this helps.......

I drink muscle milk light... It comes in a bunch of diff. flavors. Right now I am drinking Cake Batter. YUMMY. Its about $30.00 at GNC for a tub of it. They make pre mixed stuff, and it is not as good as the powder you mix yourself. I am only 3weeks post op, so I drink it in the morning. I cant drink the full thing of two scoops so I may try to do only one scoop in morning and then one scoop later for a snack, maybe after I run... I haven't got a system down yet:( But for two scoops its 195 calories, which is good compared to alot....It has 6 of Fat 11 Carbs and 25 protein 1 fiber.... Just make sure if you get it, you do the light because the normal stuff has alot higher calories. I have tried Isopure before, and couldnt stomach it. It was like a watered down koolaid to me. MusleMilk is like a milk shake, very filling and I dont have to force it down. Hope this helps :thumbup:

I have my first fill in a week and a couple days.... I cant wait. This post really helped me understand........Thanks

Muscle milk here. I love it. They taste like milk shakes. SOOOOOO Good and they make tons of falvors. I just got cake batter and YUMMY. They sell it in a light fourm for those of us watching calories. The powered you mix yourself taste 100% better then the already mixed by them. I get my muscle milk at GNC but alot of places have it. I tried ISOPURE and I couldnt stomach it.... Hope this helps.........
