Hey Dawn...Where do you get the flavored protein power?

I'm doing great how are you? I'm sore at the port site and I still have some gas pains. I try to walk around but i have to walk slowly because the gas pains kind of make me winded but short of breath. I'm not hungry at all so I try to get in my protein and drink as much water as I can to stay hydrated. I hope I never get hungry so I don't have to experience banster hell lol. What's your experience like so far?

I can't seem to get rid of all the gas. That's the only thing that's driving me crazy. I did really good most of the day, but whenever I drink something it seems to get worse. Ugh....ready for it to be gone. I am getting hungry! My hubby cooked a really good meal tonight and I soooo wanted some, but I wasn't about to risk it. I think I'm getting hungry because I'm not drinking enough protein. I just haven't been able to stomach them like I could. It seems to leave a yucky taste in my mouth all the time. Trying to keep hydrated, but it's hard.

Had my surgery this morning and I am doing great just a little sore I had the single incision done no gas pain really I thank God for this new life and awesome journey and for all the prayers!

What are you guys doing for your liquid diet for those whos surgery is coming up this week

Hi Cute45, I am on my day 4 out of 14 drinking shakes. So far I am doing great. Maybe a bit of headache but I think it is because I am only taking about 800 calories per day. Trying to keep my energy on. Drinking lots of water.

July 12th for me!! So excited, I wish it was tomorrow!

hi, hope you are doing good. Report to us when you get better. wishing you well
