Me too. I've been searching the net for recipes but no luck.

I had one of these as well. The doctor said to leave it alone and it'd be fine. I became obsessed with it it. I was constantly tugging on it, hoping it would come out. I even used tweezer but I was too scared to pull it really hard. Then one day, I just barely pulled on it and it came out. It will come out only when it's ready, I'd say.

It's just called hot cocoa. Here's the link: http://www.holdthecarbs.com/lc-chocolate-lovers/lc-hot-cocoa-mix

I absolutely love my hot chocolate from LC Foods. It's really rich and has no protein taste. 1 cup has 22g of protein and only 1 carb. I just wish it was available here in Germany. The shipping costs are outrageous.

Great! Thank you so much!

I have been drinking the isopure RTD drinks. I like them mostly because they're easy to drink. But I live in Germany and I can only get them online with only 2 flavors to choose from. Are there protein powders that mix clear like these?

I bought 10 bottles of isopure, 5 fruit punch and 5 melon. I didn't really care for the melon on their own so I've been using them to make my sf jello. I just dissolve the jello in a 1/2 cup of boiling water, add a 1/2 cup of cold water to bring the temp up and then add a cup of isopure that's been refrigerated. It tastes great!

I start at 6:30 in the morning with 1/2 liter of water and usually finish by 8. I have something for breakfast at 8:30 and then wait 30 minutes and start drinking again. It's like a full time job! I try to get in a 1/2 liter before each meal and before bed. It's not easy but the idea of dehydrating freaks me out.

I started the insurance process at 445lbs. On the day of surgery, 8/29, I weighed 397lbs. And today, 4 weeks out, I'm down to 352lbs.

I've lost an elephant's heart and a guinea pig. (45lbs)

I was sleeved 8/29. I can only get 50g (1.7 oz)of anything down. I'm not worrying too much about it right now. I'm trying to focus more on getting my fluids in. I'm finally getting 2 liters in each day. Protein varies. Some days I get 62g and other days 15. It's a work in progress for sure.

I did the same thing last night. I was distracted while taking my reflux meds and took a big gulp of water. It hurt as it went down but only for a few seconds. Then there was a lump, like a marble, in my throat. It's just below my breast bone and I feel it mostly when swallowing. It doesn't hurt and I have no trouble swallowing liquids. It is very uncomfortable. I've tried gas-x, warm broth and walking. Nothing is helping. It's been 14 hours now. I'm getting a bit worried. I hope I didn't mess something up. I wonder if I should go to the ER or maybe call my Dr. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

I will be flying home to Texas from Germany in mid October. By then I will be 6 weeks post op. I am wondering how I can plan for the 13 hour flight. They have a diabetic meal option. I'm just concerned about protein. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I use the vanilla in my yogurt, cottage cheese, quark,oatmeal and cream of wheat.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I could have the bars that soon. I know I can't get liquid through security. Maybe I just take some protein powder and a shaker then ask for milk on the plane.
