Hi Donna,

I got my surgery on the 14th.  I didn't get a tube in me to drain.  What would that be for?  I was told I can start purreed food on my 3rd week.  I am starting again the Body Fortress protein drink.  I was told it was good to have by my doctor.  I take sips of it.  It does taste different before I had the surgery.  You can get the protein drink at Walmart.  They told us that it was cheap and try to use it, if we didn't like it then we didn't waste a lot of money on it.  Hope this helped.

Thanks Kris, i will try the protein shakes, I am always at Walmart, do they have different flavors? I am trying to get most grsams of protein out of 1 shake, I just had some light applesauce, it was great!!!

Thanks for the info on the shakes, i just had light applesauce and it was wonderful, i just keep forgetting not to eat/drink at the same time, not a good feeling

yay! isn't it a relief when the drain is out? Good luck with the pureed foods. There is a post in this forum about a blog site that one of the members has. She has awesome recipes and ideas for pureed foods. As far as the protein I just use the chocolate whey protein from walmart and mix it with milk in the blender, can't drink it when it's just stirred, has to blender for me. welcome to the losers bench.   :)

Thanks for your input....i just had some light applesauce, fantastic, so far so good, I keep forgetting not to eat & drink at the same time, i am going to buy  a good digital scale and weighing myself only once  a week, do you own a scale?

donna 

yes, I have a digital scale. I told myself I would only weigh once a week, but yea, it's more than once a week. LOL I'm just so excited and like to see the weight coming off. But I don't do it everyday or anything.

where did you get your scale and what brand?

Donna

ISOPURE, it is found at GNC. It tastes good with low fat or 1% milk. There are few different flavors also. thanks, p

THANKS!!!!
