Taking a Poll

It is too quite today...  So I am going to take a poll...  A friend of mine is having WLS surgery and I want to put together a care package.  I know to include Chap stick and I was also going to put in some Smooth Move Tea.  Some one suggested socks.  I was thinking of going to the Vitamin Shoppe and picking up some samples of protein powders if they have any.  So here is the poll question... List the things you wish you had in those days after surgery that you did not have or what you sould not have lived without...  Also include your favorite flavor of protein powder...  Any recipes you did in those first 30 days would be great as well. I will start... 1.  Sugar Free Popsickles 2. Chapstick 3.  Carnation Instant Breakfast 4.  Gritz Hopefully this will also help those on the board that are new. Thanks for the help Julie

Thanks Karen, They are on the shopping list.

Julie, I have some samples of protein powders that I would love to find a good home for.  I bought them from BA and I just don't use them.  So if you would like some to put in the care package let me know. Susan

I wish I could help but I think I blocked that 1st month out of my life.   Just kidding but it wasn't the most fun as we all know.  Everything I lived on was listed.  I don't know if SF jello was on there? 

Hey roomie, I've been MIA sorry. I got through the puree stage by making some low fat chilli found a recipe on the net. I pureed it to hell and froze it in ice cube trays. I would pop a cube into a ramekin and nuke it. I had to have something I could taste. That and pureed apple sauce, cottage cheese and cinnamon ( I hate cottage cheese this is the only way I could eat it for protein) hope this helps
