Just stopped at the drug store and got Tylenol multi-symptom cold in the liquid. It tastes yucky but doesn't have NSAIDS. Give that a try. I wouldn't do juice unless you cut it with Water. That's a whole lotta sugar. The Soup should be fine and will definitely help. Especially homemade chicken soup.

I too have a cold, and I know it's a cold because I am six weeks out. I also would love suggestions on what cold medicine I can use. Hope you feel better Hun!

Sleeved 4/17/13 and I'm down 54 pounds. I spent a few weeks really nauseated and they found my gallbladder was diseased so I had emergency surgery to remove that. Since then I've had zero nausea and have been able to start incorporating new foods as tolerated. Good luck everyone!

I'm never hungry or thirsty.

I literally have to set an alarm on my phone to eat my meals and I carry a Water bottle that I've frozen the night before in my purse and sip all day long. As it thaws it allows for just sips of Water to stay hydrated. Ive noticed that I cannot get water cold enough to be palatable. I don't enjoy food anymore and thats a change because I used to be a huge foodie.

Sacrifice I suppose. I had my sleeve done on 4/17 and I'm 50 pounds down. I wouldn't change anything.

Good luck!

I'm three days post op and I am not feeling awesome at all. I feel like i sip constantly but it just causes me pain. I feel like I'm never going to feel normal. Anyone else feel like this after a few days? Maybe I'm just being really impatient.

Body Fortress vanilla flavored, sorry.

I'm glad you have found powders that you like. I do like the chocolate also. All the other flavors I feel leave that "whey" aftertaste. I probably messed that up myself though with the first batch of Soup fiasco. Now just the smell of whey turns my stomach and I'm only day three in. I found a powder at Walmart, the brand is body fortress. With 12 oz of skim milk and one scoop is 36 grams and it is delish. No whey aftertaste. I'm going this weekend to try the chocolate. Hope you stay motivated, just a week aand a few days to go. Good luck on your surgery!

jessicakayyy: Did you follow the heating instructions? The package says to be sure not to heat past 140 degrees. Perhaps that would help? I would also recommend starting with a little at a time and stirring in slowly to a desired taste. I think "unflavored" is still going to have some flavor....it's just finding the balance. Good luck!

I did follow the heating instructions, I have a food themometer that I carry in my purse now. However, I do think you hit the nail on the head with the adding too much powder. I did one serving of Soup which is 8 ounces to one scoop, and even though the package says 8-16 oz of "liquid" I'm probably going to have to cut the scoop in half. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to cut the powder down until I can't smell/taste the whey flavor. :-)

• I loved the Unjury chocolate and vanilla. After reading reviews I decided to buy the tub of unflavored to mix into Soups. I just had cream of broccoli Soup with a scoop, and the whey taste was so powerful, I literally just had to chug the soup and then chase it with my full bottle of Water. Now I have that sick sloshy feeling. I might have put too much powder in, but now I'm going to have to figure out what to do with the rest of the tub and also find a replacement unflavored. Good luck! Any suggestions on a good unflavored powder, or ideas on how to use up the rest of the tub?
