I have found adding a tablespoon of sugar free pudding to shakes adds flavor and thickens them.

I have been using the unjury brand chicken flavored protein and the unflavored. the chicken It is like cup of soup . And the unflavored can be mixed in broths.

I was told about 4 years ago mine GB should be removed . I looked online and found a Gall Bladder cleanse. It was very unpleasant ( tastes bad and lots of poop the next day) but it worked. I have recommended to several friends since them and most have avoided surgery.

1st post op Dr visit today. I am advanced to full liquid for 10 days then purée. Down 25 lbs since consultation on 7/14/14!

I weighed this morning and was up 1 1/2 lbs since I weighed 3 days ago. How is that possible? I'm still on clear liquids! ???? I think I need a new scale.???? Dr visit today 25 lbs down. I'll take that!????

I would live to have your list. lagrady68@gmail.com. Thanks!!!

Hang in there!

Wow! 7 days post op and my goal is to be back in my wedding dress do my 25th anniversary 12/29/15

I am 7 days out and completely understand where you are at! I think we are just going to be hungry on clear liquids. Hang in there ! I feel better today than yesterday looking forward to " full liquid stage"

I would check with dr tomorrow. If it is thrush they can give you a prescription mouth rinse.

I was told to cough to expell anything in my lungs from breathing tube. Just keeping a cup of water close by for the tickle.

You will know when you have enough. I have been keeping ice water beside me and sip every few minutes. You have to stay hydrated!

Under 100 feveris ok . Over 100 call your Dr.

Glad everyone is doing well. I had mine sept. 8 and came home on the 10th. Getting in liquids and protein. Ready to move in full liquids stage.

Last night I decided to try putting my nectar protein in the blender with ice and water. I liked it much better but it was very frothy. This morning I put 8 oz of water and about 6 ice cubes in the blender and crushed the ice. Then I put the nectar protein in my shaker bottle, poured the ice water in with it and shook it up. Makes it nice and cold! Kind of like a slushy.

I was told not to worry about protein as much as fluids. My goal the next couple of days is at easy 40 g protein and at east 64 oz liquids. My Dr said hydration is more important than protein this week.

I am not a big fan of the sweet protein drinks but I really like the unjury chicken flavor protein. I can actually get in the full 8 oz over time.

On my way home!????????

Hope yOur surgery went well!

Surgery went well. Sipping water and got most of portion shake down this morning. Waiting to be discharged . So ready to get rid of this iv and go home! Sounds like everyone is doing good. Hope it continues.

This is it! ???? This time tomorrow we will all be on the other side. Praying we all have successful surgeries with no complications, well controlled pain, and quick recovery ! Good luck all!

Safe travels!

Day 1 liquid diet makes me so thankful I didn't have to do it long term! Not bad so far. I check in at 7:00 Monday. Getting everything lined out for my kids next week. Ready to get to the other side!

Monday can't get here soon enough! I start clear liquids tomorrow.????
