I use instant coffee.with a drop of coconut extract..an my Isopure Protein mixed up in 12oz Water like im suppose to for my meal..lil less then a cup of instant coffee..put all in blender..my protein is vanilla flavor so it pretty much flavors it for me..but u can add aguave nectar or something like tht in it..I use coconut milk to give it a lil more creamyness.add ice n blend..u can also add coffee extract to give it a stronger coffee flavor if u like..u can use whatever coffee n protein u like......another neat trick for like pudding is take plain yogurt n add ur protein powder in it an u have protein pudding..or if ur sik of water..but knw chrystal light n all tht isnt good for u..just add a lil protein powder to ya water bottle to give it some flavor..they say its better then any drink mix on the go.u get ur Vitamins

Wow june is a popular month!! Wouldnt u say? Just think this time next year we will be a bran new us!!! Congratz to everyone!!

Just had my pre op with my surgeon. Usual questions and instructions.
I did ask him about the pre op diet and he said the ONLY purpose is to shrink the liver. He said "big boys" and some ladies get really fatty livers and it makes the surgery more difficult. He said the diet can shrink the liver up to 50-75%.
He said he didn't expect me (I am lower bmi) to have that problem, so that's good.
He also advised that I continue all meds after surgery (high bp, thyroid, asthma) just one at a time...no gulping!
I also got my surgery time for the 25th...7:30 am! I will be his first case, so am happy about that.
I start pre op diet tomorrow and have PAT next Monday. It's all happening very quickly now!
Good luck to folks for this week!!!

Ankle and feet swelling is normal after surgery..thts why they want u to walk an all..I walked alot! Lolz feet didnt swell until next day cause I didnt walk as much an prob because I didnt keep feet elevated once I got home..

My next project will be makin homeade Protein Meal Replacement popcicles!! With my powder I have...my tummy seems to be satisfied by the cold ice chips they gave me at hospital..so think imma try this to make sure im getting my protein in!!

Only issue I had was swelling of ankles an feet..which is normal..I just took it easy keepin feet up in air above heart.n today they are back to normal..as far as pain goes I only hurt when I try n get up frm a laying position.other then tht I feel great..!!!
