Just tried coffee with Premier Protein Shake and it was very good and I noticed that it goes down smoother a big difference than what I have experienced with other liquids 5 days post op. Maybe because it is hot I guess or maybe just me?

It's not just you...I only really drink hot water now; I may take sips of cold water if its in front of me, but I can't drink as much of it as I can when its hot.

I’ll have to try that as creamer in my coffee.
Since my surgery, other than my morning cup of coffee, I drink ice cold water now. I use to not like any ice w my water and drank it at room temp. Now I LOVE it super cold with lots of ICE!

I started the same thing yesterday! It cuts the sweetness of the protein drink and ups my total liquids. I never thought that I’d crave tomato soup and organic applesauce...hurry up Thursday!

Omg I cannot wait till Thursday. Going to make some Homemade Applesauce and Tomato Soup sounds so good

OK, I'll bite, what's happening on Thursday?

Just moving on to the next phase of diet plan try some new things we both had surgery on the same day 6 days post op

I have to start my day out with a hot beverage. Usually its herbal tea with my miralax in it. Then I can start drinking room temp water. Cold water is the worst. It feels like it tightens up my sleeve and almost cramps it. I'm 7 months out and can eat enough I don't have to supplement with protein drinks, but I do keep Premier around for use as coffee creamer - I think its a great substitute for liquid creamers!

Okay I’m going to try that this morning that really sounds good the herbal tea with Mira lax in it. Yeah can’t wait to have other food to help my protein intake and cold water sucks to me. Good info that you
