Ok, so I just mixed up some unflavored NOW Protein powder with some Swanson "Mexican Tortilla" flavor infused broth. It's actually not bad. Maybe tomorrow I'll try it out on one of their other flavored broths. Just in case some of you are wondering what I'm talking about, Swanson has some new broths that they are calling "Flavor Infused".

Stupid question.....Do you put the protein powder in warm broth or cold broth? I've read where it doesn't mix well over a certain temperature.

I'm just getting sick of all these sweet drinks. I've started mixing unflavored NOW whey Protein powder in Powerade Zero just to change up the tastes. But even that is getting old since the whey protein powders mix to an almost creamy consistency. I haven't tried mixing it with boths, but that's my next move. If only they come up with a bacon flavored Protein Drink.

My doctor told me I will be in the hospital at least one night and maybe two depending upon how well I recover. The biggest things he said were my abilities to walk the hospital halls and how well I can drink fluids.

My VSG is scheduled for Monday October 21st. Over half way through the required 14-day pre-op liquid diet and getting a little anxious to get this show on the road.

Hello, my name is Dave, I'm 47, I'm married with no kids (I'm the child of the household) and I'm a native Floridian. I've had this nickname for many years on other forums, but it really fits here. The name comes from my employment.........I work for the government (nuff said). I've been through the mandatory 6 months pre-op weight loss program with my surgeon and my surgery is scheduled for Monday October 21, 2013. I am currently doing the doctor's required 14-day pre-surgery liquid diet. It's three Meal Replacement shakes and up to three no-calorie snacks(Jello, ice pops or broth). I'm a little anxious and nervous right now considering the surgery is only in five more days. Been spending a lot of time lurking the forums and searching the internet for information. In other words, the butterflies are kicking my butt. So far I've done awesome with weight loss since may when I started the pre-op diet program. The pounds have been falling off with the serious changes in my diet and starting a daily exercise regimen.
