stupid drinks!!

Hello guys, There is no way I can get these rx drinks down. They are utterly horrible. They are not even flavored. They taste like ajax or something. I can't even finish one w/out gagging it up. I have tried holding my nose, mixing in other stuff and its all a no go! ew ew and another ew. I hope these drinks die a horrible death. I hope he is enjoying his matza!! ha, so mean. To top it all off, this drink seems to stain my shirt. I cant get the stupid gag stains out! Someone please wake me up when this nightmare is all over. hugs Tavia

Hi Tavia, How are you feeling these days? Hope all is well. What drinks are you talking about and what are they for? I'll try to call you tonight. Joanne

Hey, These calorie drinks I am suppose to drink 5x a day. I have lost another 10 pounds in 3 weeks. If I do not start to stablize they are going to put the G tube back in. The surgeon wanted to do another 'toast test' last week but I didn't want to b/c I am beyond tired of this all right now. He is on vacation now so when he comes back he will insist to do that test I am sure. He said if I lose another 5 pounds (or more) he said he will 'pull the plug' and intervene. That's the story. Blah! Hugs Tavia

Hi Tavia - I'm glad to see you on the board, even though your news is pretty awful. I'm so sorry you're going through this ongoing nightmare... Sending you lots of hugs and white light... Mary Mc

Hi Mary, Thank you so so much for your support. Oh well, what can you do, you know? Take care. Tavia

Oh my goodness, another 10 lbs. That must put you at about 80 lbs. now. Tavia, I hate to be a nudge or anything, but you have to try and get those drinks down somehow. I know you know it, but I'm worried about you now. This is scary. How's your blood work been coming out? I'm praying that this works better for you so you can start living a normal life. Joanne

My blood work is actually pretty ok. It is actually better than before. Nothing really too alarming, which is good. That is what matters more than anything right now. I really do not even look that bad. The surgeon said when he saw me he didnt think I looked "too skinny" but when we weight me, our eyes buldged out of our heads. Thanks so much for your support (and everyone as well). You guys are super de duper! I just need to get these five drinks down, that is all. blah! hugs Tavia

Hi Tavia, And although you are still losing weight--I am glad tosee that you are still your *****y self! I am old enough to be your mother--SO, BE A GOOD GIRL and DRINK YOUR PROTEIN DRINKS! You have to get healthy--and I know they are terrible tasting --I hate most protein drinks (and mine aren't RX drinks) , but you have to find some way to get them down. Please, we want you to stay out of the hospital--so try --okay?? I don't want your problem --but I wish that I could give you that ten pounds--I sure would be happy to drop ten pounds in three weeks--See--we are never satisfied! Love and hugs, Marian S.C. 242.4/168.4/goal 125-130??

Hey Marian, Thanks for your nice words! I always try to stay positive, what else can I do? I am trying to get these things down so far so good but they are so horrible! ick! I soooo do not want to go to the hospital again. They treat you like a robot over there and I surely am not one. take care hugs Tavia

Tavia, Hun I am so sorry that you are STILL dealing with this BS! Is there another drink you can try? What about a regular protein drink like Isopure? If you can then try the choc one, it really is good and you can add things to it.... Keep us posted! ~~ Debra P
