Hiya there....Of course, I don't know what protein supplements you tried but I usually don't like any of them either. I found though that Unjury brand was great!! I love all the flavors....Chocolate Splendor is great with some iced coffee (decaf, of course), Vanilla is good with just milk. Strawberry is great with lemonade or plain with water. But my favorite is the chicken flavor...it really tastes like chicken broth...I'm not big on salt, so I often did one scoop of chicken flavor and one scoop of unflavored to tone down the salt flavor. But each scoop is 20 grams, so it's really easy to get enough protein. Again, I don't like any of the other protein supplement brands, so might be worth it for you.

Hi!! My surgery date was 12/28. I also had a two week liquid diet pre-op. After surgery, I had two days of clear liquids and I am now back on liquids again. I can't wait for next Tuesday (01/04) when I go to the next diet seminar and get to start pureed foods!! Have to say, the two week liquid diet before the surgery was very very hard but since the surgery, I'm not all that hungry. As long as I keep drinking enough, I don't seem to crave any food. As far as the pain, I still take 2 or 3 doses of the lortab throughout the day for pain but the pain isn't bad unless I'm doing a LOT of movement and really only seems to come from where the port was attached. The other incisions don't hurt at all. I'm located in IA. Best of luck to all of us in the New Year!!!
