  1. I had my surgery 9 days ago. I was fine until the nurse brought in a popsicle while I was in recovery and it was instant nausea the moment I put it in my mouth. It was all I could do to hold it back. They then gave me some Crystal light in a 1oz medicine cup and that was absolutely horrible too... those were the only times I felt sick. I stuck to the ice chips only and was fine. My doctor also gave me some cream to rub on my wrists Prometh Gel 25MG that I used a few times once I was home. The nurse also gave me meds in my IV that helped. I would stay away from the popsicles and crystal light if you think it might be an issue for you. An know that you can ask the nurse for nausea medicine in your IV.
  2. Im still on my 3 week post op, but my good friend who is 2yrs in, gave me a product that might help you. Its a 1 oz jellow shot that is 15g of protein and 1 serving of fruit in each cup. Its made by Protica. Its called Protein Twist in orange flavor. This might help with being only 1oz and 15g of protein. They have other flavors too. If you Google it, you can purchase online. Zero sugar and fat only 100 Calories.
  3. Ive tried alot of protein drinks and for me, Premier Chocolate and Vanilla are really good. I couldnt stand the Isopure drinks (too expensive and alot to drink for the 40g or protein). I did 2 weeks pre op diet consisting of protein drinks and bars and Im now 12 days post op on my 3 week liquid only diet. For me, I dont want to have mix my protein drinks.. I want simple and easy and cost is always a factor for me. The Premier is sold at Sams Club (probably Walmart too) and the cost is about less than $1 (about .89 cents). The bottles have a resealable cap and are 11 oz.
