Can't wait for phase II diet - Need protien advice

[vs24 25]

As of today, I'm 4 days post-op. The first 2 days were a bit rough, specifically due to gas. Once I got that taken care of, things got much better.

I'm still on liquid diet, but can start my phase II tomorrow. I cannot tell you how excited I am about having (boxed) mashed potatoes with (strained) cream of anything Soup over it!

I am down 21 lbs since I started my 1 week pre-surgical diet.

The only problem I'm having is getting Protein in . Isopure is really tough on the taste buds. Tomorrow, though, I should be able to start back on Premier chocolate drinks.< /p>

Any tips to help me get through the day today?
