The premixed isopure taste like ass. And not the good kind of ass.

Syntrax Nectar makes a powder that mixes in water. It looks, when mixed, exactly like the Isopure. Except the ones I tried are delicious. I've had the Roadside Lemonade and Fruit Punch. Great protein, low calories because of the water. Just as clear as Isopure. They have other flavors, including, I think, coffee and tea.

When I was post op, I did drink the Nectars . . . hmmm I'll have to see if I can get any in single serving packs. I don't know that I want to buy a whole tub for one day . . . Thanks for reminding me!

Nikki, do you worry about blisters when you run in the rain. Since I live in So Cal. and it never rains in So Cal, I have never run in the rain. I don't know how to prepare! I'm going out at lunch to buy a hat!

I don't have a lot of issues with blisters (knock on wood). I have sprayed my feet with Tri Slide before a super wet muddy run last year in Michigan and I was blister free. I also prefer thin dri wicking socks which I think helps in the rain. Yes, go forth and purchase a Headsweats hat (I must have at least 5, they are my FAV).

I am having an endoscopy next month. I just need to have no solid foods for 8 hours before, and only clear liquids until 4 hours before. I go in at 8 am. So that should be easy enough!

That sounds great. Mine is on tuesday, so from Sunday midnight until Monday midnight, I can only have clear liquids. Absolutely nothing after midnight Monday night/tuesday morning. My endoscopy is set for 10:00 am on Tuesday.

Ensure makes a clear protein drink now that is moderately better than isopure. I can tolerate the peach or pomegranate here and there.

Thanks! I'll have to buy one this weekend and try it out. I figured one day of really low protein numbers won't kill me, but I'd like to get some in.

Angry Viking, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Again, I would lose my mind if I lost any of my college tribe.

I would vote for the black nylons. It's a funeral, you're in mourning... but I don't think it would be a huge faux pas to wear nude, either. I may be wrong though, years of being overweight has always made me choose black when it comes to any kind of clothing. My closet looks like me and Mrs. Darth Vadar got our luggage mixed up at the airport.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, I've been everything from a beer koozie to Medusa.

B: Chicken Soup

S: Light and Fit Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt

L: More soup

D: either an iMetabolic protein shake or more chicken soup (I'm on a kick right now)
