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...

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

Thanks for passing on the sippy cup tip. 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!

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!

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.

Got my pantry and fridge stocked up, and did most of the cleaning yesterday. I'll finish cleaning today and pack my bag.

Tomorrow I will be with my Corvette club at an event so that will occupy my mind and chill me out.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
