I don't do fake sugars or stevia. This morning my Protein Shake was greek yogurt. Isopure Protein Powder, almond butter, cacao (unsweetened chocolate) powder. A little bit of Water to blend and ice to make it cold.

I mostly just play with favors I like. Fage 0% Greek yogurt plus Isopure naked whey Protein provides a good 30 - 38 gms of protein. It's not too thick because I use water instead of milk. I ma vegetarian and have a lot of food allergies. Artificial food dyes & fake sugars are 2 of them. I use the Isopure because it's just plain whey protein. No added sugar or colorings. If I want to add sweetness I typically use raw honey.

do you use isopure unflavored? I have chocolate and vanilla but not a fan

Yes I use the unflavored. I can also mix this in with Soup. I emailed the company and was assured that it can be added to hot or cold liquids. I take one scoop of the Isopure and a tsp of whatever liquid I have whether it's soup, coffee or tea. I whisk that together until it's smooth then add it to the already heated liquid. Some days I don't have a big appetite but I want to get in mu Protein. A cup of soup or tea with Isopure mixed in is the perfect solution.

Probably not until you can eat and keep food down. I'm not sure. I didn't have these issues. I was back to normal fairly quickly.

still not doing well, I tried 2 teaspoons of mashed potatoes and was ill. I keep wondering if I am still drinking too close to eating. I'm living off of a half ensure and broth everyday along with Water and juice. I feel like I'll never be normal again. I throw up clear bile alllllll day long and still not back to work. I constantly feel sick.

I meant clear phlem all day. tons and tons of phlem

Jeez I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how miserable and worried you must feel. What is your Dr saying about all this?

      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!
