Feeling a little lightheaded
Angie, when I was on the Optisource, it got to tasting so sweet, I started adding 2 oz of 1% milk with it and that helped cut the sweetness and added more fluids. You might want to try that.
Hope you're feeling better! Alice

Good catch Barb. I missed the 2 ounces 3 times a day on the Optisource. Unless Pender and Chapman have changed their recommendations in the last year, they say 2 ounces every hour you're awake, not 3x a day. I would definitely make sure that this is what they want you to do.
Let us know how it goes.

Thank you all! I double checked all my paperwork. The nutruitionist had me down to drink 1 8oz of Optisource per day by doing 4 2 oz doses per day. My discharge papers and some paperwork my doctor's office gave me prior to surgery says to drink 3 2oz portions of optisource per day. I agree it doesn't sound like much.
