try slim fast high Protein Powder it's very good. the vanilla i mixed with orange juice and it tasted like a dreamsicle. put in a few ice cubes little bit of skim milk little bit of organge juice and powder, i'm sure you will like this.they do make unflavored that i bought online from Unjury that i have added to Jello and it did not change the taste

i had my surgery on nov 7th and my stomach is so itchy. what can i do for this????

:kiss2:hi just banded on nov 7th also i have the same pain just in the port area, i have been using ice pack it helps alot.hope you start feeling better

hi i have a few ??? for you. did you have to do the Protein Drinks, what kind did you use. have you had any problems since your surgery. sounds like you did not have a good experience with dr's office. my pcp has said nothing but great things of dr's office. the process for me has been quick. the only problem i had was the phsy was out of network so i have to pay out of pocket. sounds like you are doing great, keep up the good work

sue:kiss2:
