How do you...?

Hi Faith, I don't drink the shakes so I can't help you on that (Milk makes me extremely sick!), plus it looks like you've got some great responses already. However, I am about 3 1/2 months post op and I eat chinese with no problem. As a matter of fact, my nutritionist thought it was a great idea, because then I am getting some great protein and vegetables in when I eat it. I just don't buy it anywhere, make it myself. Then I can control whats in it. I've made beef and broccoli and chicken stir fry - I just don't eat it with rice and use soy sauce with cornstarch, not the pre-made stuff. It's wonderful and i love it! I'm trying to be creative in my cooking so I won't get bored, and it has helped tons. I recommend it for everyone, because I really think it helps in the long run.
