Hi everyone,

I had my surgery on Dec. 6th and am doing pretty well. I came home from the hospital on Wednesday. I couldn't wait to get out of there - no one lets you sleep.

I am still pretty sore and tired, but I've been doing pretty well with protien and fluids. I almost worry the eating part is too easy right now.

I am still trying to find an unflavored protein powder I like that I can add to soup. I'm getting a bit tired of sweet protein shakes.

Good to see you posting, Mary. I'm glad things are going well. Keep trying for that special protein powder. I think Vitalady carries several in unflavored. You might want to see if you can order some samples.

Glad to see you are doing well, I agree the nurses never let you sleep. Take care and rest up.

Welcome home. I felt better each day once I got home. Nectar unflavored has less flavor than Unjury to me. I used it some in the beginning but now I can tolerate anything I have tried. That first week or so, my taste buds were really offended by everything bu****er.

Welcome to the loser's bench Mary. Sounds like you are doing good.

Keep trying on those protein drinks I ordered lots of samples from Vitalady.com

Thanks everyone. I ordered lots of samples from Vita-lady, but for some reason I didn't get any unflavored. I will have to order some more.

I am looking forward to a few weeks from now.

You're right! A few weeks from now are going to be a completely different experience.

Every day gets better!

Congrats on doing so well!

I too felt very little in my pouch in the beginning. Get in the habit of measuring.

Unjury makes a good plain powder to add to soup.
