Rainy,

I am sorry you are feeling bad but just hang in there. I couldn't handle the clear Protein either. I did clears for 10 days and after a point I just concentrated on getting my fluids in because no way was Isopure or any of the other clear Proteins I bought going down. It got much better after I advanced to full liquids and could do Protein shakes.

Best of luck and hang tough.

I think most people on here can relate to what you are going through. It seems like every sort of Protein makes me want to throw up.

So far...for the clear liquid diet....I handled the unflavored Protein powder. I made it with Jello. It didn't distort the taste whatsoever.

It saved my life.

The shots....unbearable. I know people say to mix them in stuff, but I couldn't do it.

Everyone is different. Everyone tolerates different things. Try the unflavored Protein Powder in with Jello or Crystal Light. It was the best thing for me.

Bullets are not a good form of Protein. They are made from collegan and you need whey Protein.< /strong>

Sunshine is right. You would be much better off to get some unflavored whey protein and mix it in anything you like such as sf gatoraide, poweraide, sf Hawaiian punch, crystal lite, etc.

If you have a GNC, they may have the syntrex nectar drinks for sale.

Is there anyone here? I was looking for a little advice here but looks like no one is around. I had the gasric sleeve done on Sept 24, been on liquids this whole time. Was doing ok till now. I'm wanting some real food. Just a bite. The Water and whey Protein isn't hitting the spot anymore. Was kind of hoping someone would be here to talk to about this. I guess not.

Why have you been on liquids all these days? Usually Clear Liquids are no more than 10, then you go on mushies. Also, you'll get more responses if you start a new thread with a new topic, I think. Good luck!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
