Denise I drink Worldwide protein (can). They have vanilla, chocolate, cappichino, strawberry and have either 21 or 35 g of protein/drink. I get them at Trader Joe's. They need to be real cold and the taste is good. Good Luck Sheryl

Susan, Thank you so much. Susan, I to you. Thank You, Monice

What kind does everyone like? I don't like the thick shakes, but need to find something. Denise

Hi, I had surgery on 10-6-04 and have had 2 endoscopy/dilations since. Right after the first one (at which time they removed 2 loose staples), I have been able to eat everything that was on the sheets the dieticians gave to us. Turkey, chicken, hamburger, etc. Sometimes I cannot tolerate the lunch meats, like from the deli at the store, but I can eat the cooked turkey meat like you would have at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I'm still having a problem getting all the liquids in, though. I have lost 58lbs to-date. This morning, I wanted a piece of toast, jelly, and bacon, soooooo bad. So I went ahead and got it - ate it, but it just sat there real heavy. I ended up getting sick. But then at lunch time, I had 1/2 of a personal size, cheese pizza from ARNI's!!!! It was real good -- first time for that, and it stayed down fine! Food is wierd .. you just have to try it, and if it dont work, it dont. If it does, it does. ??? I havent had too much bread yet, because I was afraid to try it, since we arent to have it for 1 year (per my dietician) ... but I have to say that I have experimented a little bit.

Hi Pete, This is a great board. It is never good to compare yourself to others, but this board allows us to know that we are right on track and not alone! It helps us to know that we are normal. I am glad you found us! Congrats on your surgery! I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Nice to meet you, Amber
