I' m leaving here in 5 minutes to start the 2 hr drive into my new life. See you on the other side!

Where do you get the strips? I've looked everywhere and can't find them.

They are at Walmart pharmacy and even at Dollar General. I think most any pharmacy. They blend in with the capsule type on the shelf. You really need to read the fronts of the boxes. I remember looking right at them for 5 minutes before i spotted them. Your best bet is to ask a pharmacy employee. They will know where they are.

I may have just over looked them then. Thank you! I will try again. Good luck to you!!!!

I have some pain on the left side that everyone spoke about here. No pain anywhere else though. In the hospital i had a tiny bit of nausea but a shot of something in my IV stopped it. I would definitely do it again. Now to loose the 7 lbs of Water weight the IV put on me.

I'm struggling to get Protein in. The idea of a shake does make me feel queazy. For right now i am mixing Isopure protein water with SF tang. I broke down and ordered the crystal protein and i'll use that when it arrives. Still no hunger and no temptation when the family eats.

im not even gonna attempt isopure. actually i already did. and i immediately was like "wtf is this?!" lol smh. what does the left side pain feel like? and what is crystal protein?? btw. i'm glad you are doing well!

First the side pain might have something to do with my Drs method, i don't know. During surgery he stitches something (i think the sleeve) and then attaches the stitch to a muscle in the far left side. It is a deep burning ache. Its pulled tight enough that there is a 2 inch deep indentation. That stitch is like a tack stitch to hold things in place and its dissolvable. It will take about 2-3 weeks. One day he says I will turn in bed or get up and i will feel it let go. There will be no pain after that. It only really hurts when I walk or try to navigate my body into a comfortable position. Once I'm settled it not bad.

The isopure i don't drink straight. I pure 1/4 of a bottle into a,cup then I add equal amount Water and flavoring. For the icy orange flavor i add sf Orange Crush powder.

Crystal protein is fruit flavored. You can blend it into drinks or soft stage food.

thanks for the clarification

Here's to you!
