Hey all,

Sooo I reckon I may have to go back to having a Protein shake and maybe one bar a day because I'm not getting much food down since my fill. I went on Friday and then stayed on liquids until Saturday night but pretty much the first thing I ate came up. chicken got stuck, a piece of sub got stuck...and any bread item since then as well as chicken pizza last night. Some of the sticking episodes were soooooo bad that I was crying and it really scared me so now I've been eating oatmeal and Soup. I'm totally fine with giving up all the bread stuff...just worried that I'm lacking protein and other nutrients. I've felt totally wiped the last couple of days and I think it's from lack of food....LOL....never woulda thought I would hear myself say that.

Anyways...I guess maybe the shake and bar might be a good idea...that will give me 30 grams...plus I know that not eating enough isn't helping take the weight off and it's definitely getting depressing to know I've only lost 12 pounds since surgery 2 months ago...gotta do something.

Okay going now....have a good day all.

Whoah! Did it really take you that long?

I just got unflavoured and chocolate, I think... maybe a strawberry sherbert. 20g of Protein per serving, right? Did you get unflavoured? Is it really unflavoured? Is it gritty?

I ordered and got it in about a week and a half. May depend on location. There are lots of recipes on the site, I have posted them here not long ago.

Hi diane .how are you feeling?Welcome to bandland. Fill us in on your experience.

Thanks for all the info.

The Ensure does need to be very chilled. My nutritionist advised me to try it after I had many others that caused problems or simply tasted like rust in a can. I have never tried any of the others mentioned but will give them a shot now. This is why I love this site, you get lots of ideas.

Thanks again all!

Hi diane .how are you feeling?Welcome to bandland. Fill us in on your experience.

I go in tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. and I will certainly let everyone know how it goes. Right now I am gonna fit one more Protein shake in before midnight (ugh) After we can put a banana in there or something right? I will have to check with the doc. Not looking for anything to complicate things...

Talk to you all tomorrow from bandland!
