Day 8 for me, I'm eating liquids and protein for 3 more weeks. SF jello / SF popcycles, chicken broth, same as you guys. I was thrilled when I could add back in my protein yesterday !

Topic: RE: Today is the first day of soft and pureed foods!!
I started my pureed diet today too! Had a scrambled egg with cheese for breakfast and pureed chicken with cheese and farina for dinner! Never thought I'd be so happy to have anything pureed...
Topic: RE: Help with making things using protien powder
Thanks everyone. But I'm not so concerned about getting my protien in, or ready made things. I'm good with that, and getting about 80 grams - 100 grams of protien a day in. I have Nectar protein powder (makes 25g protein in Ice Tea flavor), Pure Protein Shakes, a powder from Trader Joes that I love, Protien Blitz drinks, IsoPure drinks (40 grams a bottle)....I'm not worried about that because those are all yummy.
I wanted to find a way to "sneak" it into other non-protien items, such as jello and popsicles. People say you can mix it in, but when I mix it in, it tends to separate and then its useless. I just want to be like "I'm going to grab a bit of my pre-made jello and have the added benefit of a bit of protien in it."

Call Dr Myer's office because someone has to be covering for him. Make an appt with that physician and ask him to write you a note to release you earlier. Good luck

That's great on your weight loss!! I thought I was not doing to good compared to others on the sight but the Dr said I was right where I should be and I am so glad that someone else is right about the same as me!!! We will have to keep in touch and help eachother out with different foods etc!!
