I use the carnation too. It tastes pretty good. I also ordered beneprotein packets from the nestle nutrition site. It ups the protein by 5 grams a shake and you cant taste it. It just makes it creamier. I bet you could use powdered milk for the same result.

Wow Paul. That's amazing! How do you have so much energy right after surgery? I want to paint my bathroom too but right now all I can do is think about it and I'm tired. Did you have any time after surgery where you felt tired? If so when did it go away? I'm one and a half weeks out and still so tired.

I had surgery on 8/27. I don't feel bad but I don't feel great. Just sort of blaah and tired all the time. I am also not losing a lot of weight. My scale says 2 pounds but at the doctor's yesterday it was 10 pounds. Weird. Anyway did most of you have high energy in the week after surgery? Btw I am getting 75 g Protein in daily and drinking liquids.

I found them at Marshall's near the gourmets food. I also got some at a local specialty kitchen store. They are online too. Ive also heard walmart and bed bath and beyond carries them too. I bet Christmas tree shop has them too and those are all over New England.

Ive tried this and it is great! I like to add the sugar free syrups sometimes. Today I added sf coconut to the chocolate and it tasted like a mounds bar. Yum!

I'm 5 days out. I am having a hard time with Water. Anyone else have that? I actually like the taste of water but it hurts when I swallow it even in small sips. I can drink sf lemonade and Vitamin water zero but not plain water. Anyone else have that and did it get better?

Thank you. Got to b at hospital at 5 am. Getting nervous now. I was surprised that the 48 hr clear liquid diet wasn't too bad. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the losing side.

Your day founds a lot like mine at work. I'm having my surgery in the morning and I worry about going back. My doctor gave me a four wk note so we will see what happens. Just stay strong. You have come so far. Hopefully you will find it easier than you think. Good luck!

Whole Foods has it. I saw it online too. Try amazon. I think I saw it there too.

I'm the 27th too!

Hi everyone! I am new here too. I've been reading the postings over the last week and I love how supportive everyone is. I start my liquid diet on Monday for two weeks and then surgery is scheduled for August 27th. It's been a long road and I can't believe I am so close now. Look forward to sharing this journey with everyone. You are all so inspiring!
