This is a great help. Thanks.:biggrin:

the peppermint with inhury choc i hated lol the oran=ge and vanilla was great still.with the choc i added a small teaspoon peanut butter,and a frozen banna this was good and alittle sf choc pudding

please be careful about the pineapple juice. It works great at getting things unstuck but can reek havic on your stoma right after surgery. My doctor said to keep away from anything with acid in it especially pineapple juice until you are totally healed and able to eat solids well.The reason the juice works so well at unsticking is because the acid in it tears the food up, so imagine what it would do to your unhealed stomach.
