So far I love unjury chicken Soup flavor. Any other suggestions?

I survived off Syntrax Proteins....fuzzy navel and double stuffed cookie were my faves. I also ate a ton of Greek yogurt, thinned out retried Beans, and cream of chicken soup. I have 2 canisters of Unjury chicken and post op I hate it!!!!!

And crystal light or kool aid drops to flavor Water....I've always loved Water but the first 4 weeks post-op straight water was tough for me!!!!!

It gets old so fast :/ but you can do it!!!! I was just released to eat ground meats and thinly sliced meats yesterday and I'm in hog heaven

See, I was hoping I'd love the Nectars, but I can't stand the smell :/

If its super super cold the smell doesn't bother me as much....I've been making mine and pouring over crushed ice. Still isn't great but the least repulsive I've stumbled across!!!!

Hmm. I'll have to try again, I thought about adding some crystal light to it too.

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

I did that with the crystal light and I had to drink 16 ounces of diluted juice a day my first month post-op so I'd mix that and Water. I tend to dilute it and did about 24 ounces of liquid per scoop of fuzzy navel....for some reason the double stuffed cookie isn't as stinky as the Nectars either, or at least I didn't think it was . My favorite was to blend ice, milk, and the cookie mix and make it like ice cream. My 8 year old steals it when I make it. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get 60 grams of Protein a day through real food so I can kill off the Protein supplements....this is NOT gonna be easy!!
