Well last night i slept pretty well, went to sleep with my cpap machine but must have taken it off at night. Woke up real early at about 630 felt a bit disconfort. Yesterday i did liquids all day motly water and 1/2 bottle of isopure took my chewable vitamin. So this morning went for an early morning walk not long maybe 1/4 mile, woke up with lots of gas walk seem to help. came home started on another bottle of isopure grape flavor not to bad when cold. but i only take 1/2 ounce sips. I am using a 1 ounce cup they gave me at hospital. I also had 1 ounce of gello and my chewable vitamin. Then i took a nap. woke up pretty well took my first shower since operation felt great. then went on another 1/4 mile walk. Right now i feel real good. Gonna start on other half of isopure bottle this time fruit punch. im gonna have some chicken broth for lunch. but really not hungry strange because i am a food guy. taking it easy but feeling really good. Ill keep you posted later today see if i feel different.

Sounds like you're doing really well. My first day home was the worst. I couldn't get anything in me except some crystal lite. I started walking as soon as I could and have built up to between 2-5 miles a day. I walk after EVERY meal as it's the only way to get the fullness and gas pains to go away. I believe my walking has really helped me heal faster than I expected. Keep up the great work!!!! I have one question...what is isopure? Also, you are handling more iquids than I can at one sip. I can barely get 1/2 an ounce down at one time now. I usually take the ounce cup and it takes 3-4 sips to get it all down. Good luck and keep up the great job!!!

Isopure are zero calorie protien drinks 20 oz bottle has 40g of protien. There ok but don't taste that great. But its best way to get the protien in. Ya I'm getting 1/2 drinks down, sometimes I feel the drink go all the way down. But I am doing pretty good on liquids.

Great Job !!!! I hope to do as well as you on May 7 when I have my surgery : )

I am so going to have to try the isopure. It will give me something else to drink besides the smoothies I make that can give me protein. I have never heard of them...thanks for letting me know about them.

Alovio,

Did they have you on cpap in the hospital? In recovery? If so, did you bring your machine or did they provide it? One of a gazillion questions!! Congrats!!

Thanks.

i took mine with but nurse said that i didnt have to use it. with help of morphine pump i selpt like a baby first night. take it with you just in case. But i never used mine. Back at home i still continue to use it daily

I hated the Isopure but then added a little Truvia to it and was actually pretty good!

I buy isopure by the case one grape and one alpine punch add a squirt of mio fruit punch and grape to match and it is like koolaid i love it, Aldo for half the liquid and 35 g protein try protein power it is great comes in a can banna cream and chocolate are best. I do one isopure and one slim fast low carb and one power protein a day for all my protein I am allways drinking something before surgery so after want to make sure it counts, then at night I drink my water and eat a good dinner. Still of soft menu but got to have saltines today finnaly
