oh and the Isopure Protein drink, do they taste good?

Hello,

I don't have any Protein drink recipes, but I did purchase the Isopure Nutritional drinks and they are pretty good! They would put you in the mind of Gatorade, not a bad taste at all. I was pleasantly surprised!!! :tongue2: I actually bought them from CVS.

I think I've come here looking for some encouragin words as well. I was doing okay most of the day then after a nice long walk through the mall I feel sore and in pain. My Dr told me this morning that I could have a little egg and maybe some crackers to help with my hunger, and it did at first. Now I can't really stop crying thinking, " What the hell did I just do to myself?" I honestly had no clue it was gonna be this hard. I'm starting to feel like, I'll never be able to enjoy dinner time or a nice lunch with my family...

I know what u mean... i have had the same thoughts...I will be sooooo glad to get back to "normal" whatever normal is!! I have graduated to puree foods though. just trying to take one day at a time. It's so very hard though. There must be a light at the end of the tunnel. Im gonna keep on keeping on.

Hey Yall

I was banded on November 18th as well and everything went smoothly until I got home and started feeling my sore throat!!!! where did that come from? I have found out since then that I was intubated(sp)....So, after the sore throat goes away, Im still dealing with the gas pains... and just when ive taken all the GAS-X strips I can to get that under control... tada here comes mother nature!! Arrrgh... give me a freaking break. Having a hard time taking in all the required liquids, cant stand the smell of Protein anymore, so i have just been sipping on Isopure Plus, Gatorade (clear) and applesauce,,, my follow-up isn't until Nov 8..hope I have at least lost something, but not too sure. I struggle with wanting to snack, but I try to remain strong... very very challenging though.:thumbup: any encouraging words are soooooooo welcome....

I would love to be included.....:biggrin:

Yes, I was banded on yesterday, and the gas and sore throat is really painful. I pray that relief comes soon. I have taken tums and baking soda(old south remedy) and it has helped some but not all the way. I've tried to walk it out as suggested but that seems to worsen it. i dont even have an appetite for Clear Liquids either, i just want it to leave.:confused::crying: I hope youre feeling betta!!

Hello All,

my surgery date is set for Nov 18th, so I'm on my Liquid Protein diet right now and the first 3 days were a real challenge. the forth day is not so so bad. Any ideas on more ways to get my Protein in by liquid form. cuz i am almost burnt out on the taste of Protein Powder and 2% milk, lite orange juice etc.
