I have been mixing my u jury chicken broth with Swanson's chicken broth. So much better!

How is the unflavored unjury Protein?

[skinnybound 2]

I cant handle my Protein powder! It smells so nasty to me. I also need a ready to drink one because the blender adds so much bubble to it. Idk which one to get.

I am the same way!! Hate Protein drinks! I did find one that tastes like chocolate milk to me and I can tolerate, already mixed "pure protein"23 grams of protein, 6 grms sugar 120 cals 12 oz! Found at target! A little pricey 8 dollars for 4 cans but tastes really good - frosty chocolate

I LOVE the Premier Protein shakes! Sooo good. At SAMs club or costco.< /p>

I agree its not even close. Its more like my gallbladder surgery.

I am so glad you said that! I was wondering what it was like compared to Caesarian. !

I was also wondering when do we take the bandage off from where the drain tub was? I don't have stitches in it and I want it to heal but don't know when to take it off. Thanks again for the help. By the way I was sleeved on march 6

I'm so confused--- drain? Please tell me what you're taking about! I had a cotton ball taped over my belly button, it was a little wet when I took it off before a shower a few days ago. I clean my belly button with a tissue every day, and I don't think I got anything out of it today, but the two days I did it was kinda pink. Now, the glue is coming off around the incision just above my belly button and every time I clean it it pulls it a little. All sounds gross, I know, but what do you guys think??

Was told to keep drain site covered for two days. Sleeved on the 6th. It's starting to scab but still gaping a bit.

Hi Prettybird,

I have a drain that's on my right side about 2 inches under my boob. The tube is stitched in and it is attached to what looks like a flat ball. It drains out the Fluid from my surgery. My surgeon said he puts them in all his patients so I really didn't question it. It is just that I have to pin it to the inside of my shirts and its annoying. I have drained 30 cc of fluids daily from it since last Thursday.

Don't get in a bath. You can shower but not a bath until the all the incisions heal, they say about 4 weeks.

Hi Everybody, I was sleeved on the 7th. Gas was horrid and I am still relieving it. My worst part is the spasms. I have had to get my spasm meds inceased and refilled. Other than that I am doing great. I am now able to eat creamed, strained Soups and that is like a gourmet meal to me. So far, no problems getting anything down. I eat slowly and there is no problems. I do have to increase my Water intake. I was probably shy 8 ozs or more yesterday, but I think with the Protein Shakes and popsicyles I probably got it all in. I am loving seeing weight drops every day. I am basically losing a pound a day which is awesome. I am a darn scale junkie and no matter how hard I try I have to get on it once a day. Of course coming home from surgery with a 10 lb gain was shocking, but fortunately it came down quickly and the real losses started occuring. I get to have an egg on Friday before my follow up appt and I can't wait. I love eggs so this is going to be a real treat.

Congrats to everyone.

You get to have an egg this soon, i'm soo jealous!! But good for you! Think of me while taking a few of those bites!
