What an awesome idea with the unflavored powder and the orange crystal light to make popsicles. I am definitely going to give that one a whirl! Thanks Deb =)

hi Deb....good to hear from you......how are you doing now???Sleeping a bit better???? I totally understand what you are saying about the staff there. You will get a survey in the mail in a week or two and you can say anything that you want to on that survey. I got wonderful nurses and often had the same one for 2 days but I saw what Janet got and it was AWFUL. One of Janet's nurses would come into the room and turn on the overhead light at all hours of the night and then used a really LOUD voice, again, all hours of the night. I finally told her that neither of us were HARD OF HEARING!!! But, I had to say it twice to her. She lowered her voice a bit after that but always gave me the weirdest look when she would walk past my bed to go to Janet's. I was shocked at how insensitive she was. When Janet was at Zion this month, I went to see her a few times and OMG, was the hospital clean and quiet and she told me how nice and sweet the staff were......MAJOR DIFFERENCE. The way I look at it now is.....I'm glad it was only 3 days out of my life and is behind me. Know what I mean???:)D

Kris,
 I too have had insomnia since I got home. Couldn't sleep a wink for about a week after the surgery and felt awful because of it. It was about 9 days after surgery when I finally started sleeping 4 hours at a time.The hospital was not a wonderful experience for me and I couldn't wait to get out of there!

About the protien. I bought Unjury Chocolate and unflavored. Mixx the chocolate with non fat milk and it is very good. Also make popsciles from it too. I mix the unflavored with jello and it has no taste believe me  i am fussy! Also take cystal light sunrise orange and mix the unflavored and its like an orange julius. Again I make popsciles. I am about to graduate to the premium shakes now that my tummy can handle more then a sip.  Sorry about the sopeeling but I a tyring to hurry. Hope this helps and it does get better. I am almost 2 weeks out and feel almost myself. Except the sore throat that won't go away.

hi Kris.....good to hear from you and glad you made it home. I have tried several of the protien drinks and prefer the PREMIER from Costco....it goes down easy, is complete, has lots of vitamins and is high in protien. It also feels real good on my tumtum. I never did the protien shots or jello, but love the sugar free popsicles. Keep writing and asking questions....we are all here for you...hugz:)Deanna

Thanks Sian!
I was just going to try the jello now and I'll have to add that to see if it works for me. I did try it with crystal light and put in too much, I think that was the problem.
