Cindy you had a great idea, so I'm going to start it today (seeing as I am up TOO late again)! How is everyone doing today? 9 days and counting for me!!! I'm going on autopilot! Trying not to think TOO much as my closet friends telling me I can think myself into hysteria sometimes! Ok, time to get some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's... talk to you all in the morning! A very sleepy, Vi

Thank you Sherry! Glad to see I'm not the only night owl who is up till 2am! Well if I lived in California, I guess I would have been going to bed at a decent hour. ;) Vi

Hi Lynda! I'm equating my mood swings to PMS because one minute I am elated and the next I am ready to cry! This will be over for us before we know it and we can join everyone on the losing side! Vi

What kind of protein shakes and products have you tried and liked? So far for me Carb Solutions Rich Chocolate seems to be the only one but I know there must be more out there! I just hate to waste more money. (FYI Carb Solutions is about $9 a can...VERY reasonable!) I drink it with milk and a banana and ice in the blender though... don't know if that will be possible as a new post op... I also like the ISOPURE Zero Carb Alpine Punch and Apple Melon (ready to drink) because let's face it, I like the idea of not having to mix anything and just being able to take this 20 oz bottle (with 40 grams of protein) wherever I go. They taste ok to me, but I know some people don't like them. I want to stock up on high protein stuff before my surgery because I know it'shard to get that protein in and I don't want to just sip on broth and jello when I could be sipping on protein! Would love to try a protein pudding if they aren't gross! Let me know if anyone has tried anything good that's high in protein! Thanks! Vi

Hi Octoberites, T minus 8 days and counting. My hubby and I will go down to Long Beach, CA the night before because we live 2 hours from there. I've been trying protein samples. I ordered some and they're either delicious, "okay", or "blech." I found Nectar tea, not to my liking. The best thing about the samples is that I'm only stuck with one of something. I can get an idea of what I like or don't without committing to something I'll hate. I tried to order Stallone Protein Pudding, but the Stallone website was acting funny. I'm going to buy fat-free, sugar free instant pudding and add Unjury unflavored to it. That ought to do it. I tried the ISOPURE. It made my tongue all icky. I liked the taste, but I can't get past that fuzzy tongue - ack. Well, it's getting close now. All advice is welcome. Thanks for being out there.
