Topic: RE: i'm confused on what exactly to eat on a clear liquid diet
There is also something called Isopure. Comes in several flavors. 40 grams of protein, 20 bottle, 160 calories. Very clear, very good, very refreshing. Robyn

Hello, Clear is clear. Try ISOPURE, I have grape frost in front of me now. It has 40 grams of protein. 20 OZ bottle. It comes is other flavors too. It's $3-4 a bottle. Vitamin World, GNC etc. Swanson and the other broths come in sodium free. Mix between half salt free and fat free with salt. it will give you some flavor. For today Sunday I you need other "clear" protein drink types, write back. My books and lists are in the car. Good luck Monday. My surgery is Tuesday, Hurricane Ike, permitting. Robyn

Thank you. Right now the storm is on track to pass us going SW. We should only have alot of rain...... But you live in an area where weather is a concern too! Good luck on the 9th. Robyn
Topic: HOME from sept 4th surgery - feeling icky
Hey everyone 
I got home last night after 3days in the hospital. First 2 days there were rough. I had some issues with vomiting from the morphine and trying to move around. Wasn't able to walk well until Saturday (surg was Thursday). Sat at the hospital went really well. NO complaints. I got home and felt OK too, but bedtime was my issue.
I hardly slept at all. Can't get comfy, feel like I have the flu (no fever), and I keep getting up to go to the bathroom. I am glad to be using the bathroom as I know this is a good sign that I'm staying hydrated... but I would just liked to have been able to sleep better. The pain med I have sort of makes my heart race and I don't like how it makes me feel so I'm not sure if I'll be taking it anymore. Its 6:30 am on Sunday & I'm up on here because I'm too uncomfortable to lay down.
Sorry to be a complainer... I hate when people whine but guess I just needed to vent a little.

I agree with everyone, Hurricanes can stop anytime now. The latest models don't look for our part of the Gulf. And my job requirements would most likely make me move my surgery if Freeport area took a hit by Ike. Our sister plant near Baton Rouge got messed up real bad. All I can do is pray.
