Mine is at 10:30, so hopefully your surgery is on time! Good luck. Maybe I'll 'run' into you there.

I have been using it in every meal almost. I put it in my oatmeal, soups and pudding. I really think protein is important and in the full fluid stage there is not a lot of it. The dietician has really stressed this in the Windsor clinic.

I'm glad it's helping. Can I ask which brand you're using. I have Great Value, and I tried it in some soup and it made my pouch do weird things so I stopped after 1 spoon.

If you have flavoured protein powder and don't want to drink it, I used some on my oatmeal to give it a different flavour. I had a chocolate banana one that was delicious in oatmeal. If you add it to oatmeal just make sure you let it cool a bit before adding the powder or it will clump. I used unflavoured in my soups and same thing just let it cool down a bit then whisk it in to avoid clumps.

Thank you!

I've been using vanilla premier protein poured over my cooked cream of wheat to add more protein, and it's yummy. I just bought some high protein oatmeal today and will definitely add some chocolate to it! Great idea!
