luvladyj 23 Posted July 18, 2013 I ordered the Unjury unflavored and plan to make it into jello! I don't know how it will taste' date=' but I'm hopeful![/quote'] Pls let us kno how that works I have unjury unflavored and whatever liquids I mix it with I put in my daughters sippy cup and sip from that. It helps not to be able to smell it because it makes me want ti gag :-/ sry...I read that idea and im open to any others that may help me get Protein in...im still having a difficult time. I tried yogurt today for the first time thinking id just get my protein from food..that cant work I was full after a 3 or 4 baby spoon fulls... 1 nmck reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4AHealthierMe 24 Posted July 19, 2013 I drink the Isopure ready made, but I add Mio drops to give it more flavor. Usually do to peach mango and add a mixed berry flavoring... taste like apple juice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't read that before but the smell of the Protein Powder I have tried is definitely the biggest turn off. Maybe I will get a travel coffee cup to use for it. But thereare plenty of sippy cups around the house to use in the meantime! 1 ChaoticBliss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blash67 82 Posted July 19, 2013 I had my one week post-op appt today. I was on Clear Liquids only for the week after discharge. My recovery has gone well, except for a bad cough for 2 days (cold or allergies - was able to take robitussin). I am happy so far! Not having trouble getting my liquids in. Had one Protein Shake, 4 oz at a time, no prob. No prob with milk. I am slightly worried that stuff goes down pretty easy. Wish I felt the restriction a little more. Daily, I am trying to face just how much of this is really up to me. Reading the comments on this forum helps me face that. And I am released to return to Water aerobics next week! 6 kw2walker, EddiesAngel, qnz234 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qnz234 101 Posted July 20, 2013 My July 22 sleevers...2 more days!!!! What have u done so far to prepare? I have purchased, Soups, liquids (water, crystal light, Gatorade, smoothie/protein shake ingredients), bandages, etc. I'm really trying to prepare as much as possible. I took the gel power off of my nails, and got clear polish on my hands and feet. Today I clean up whatever is left and do my hair. tomorrow I drink that seemingly awful citrate of magnesia. Surgery is at 10 am for me. 1 gwenh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomorrow I will be with my Corvette club at an event so that will occupy my mind and chill me out. 3 kw2walker, qnz234 and nmck reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blash67 82 Posted July 20, 2013 Started Protein Shakes on Thursday. Already growing tired of them LOL. I liked them a whole lot better during preop, when I was allowed some food too! Well, this too shall pass, I suppose. 1 kw2walker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
