Get a sense of humour and have a bowl of cheesies and ketchup chips.

Hey, we have the same surgery date!!!
I am going to try your ice cream method, sounds good! Today I added ice and it has been much more tolerable.
I will also pick up some mint extract on the way home, hopefully that will give it a little kick.
I will be thinking of you on surgery date! Good luck and update me on how you are doing!

I'm in Saskatchewan and here we use a protein powder called Isoflex. Like a previous poster stated, I can only drink it super cold and I always add stuff to it. I buy the flavourings for water that you squirt into your water. I have added the sugar free country time lemonade to the vanilla as well as a tangerine orange (that tastes like a creamsicle). I have also add the orange to the chocolate powder to make a kind of chocolate orange. The other thing I've tried is freezing it. I put it in the freezer and then stir it about every 20 minutes for an hour or more and it turns into a kind of ice cream. The vanilla lemon is really good this way. Good luck - my surgery is June 17 so I have a ways to go as well.
Hi everyone. Yes it looks to be a decent forecast all week so I did a longer walk last night and will aim to do the same everyday this week. I am going to focus more on some free weights at home each night too in preparation for gym in the fall. You are a lucky girl to be able to hop in the pool anytime you like.... sometimes I wish I had one but I know they are a lot of upkeep as well so I'll just keep going to my neighbours.
B - greek yogurt, raspberries
S - 1 egg bite
L - 2 chicken skewers
S - 1/2 protein shake
D - Shrimp and sauce, cauliflower
S - turkey pepperette, few goldfish crackers
You're a week after me!
There actually isn't a strong taste of coffee - more a "malty" taste - lucky you- allowed veggies LOL! I really like the Ramen broth (President's Choice)- it's warming and tasty - but you have to measure as 1 cup as I said is 15 calories - so 2/3 is 10.
I'm on Day 1 of Week 2 and it is better - so it does get a little easier (still can't do the vanilla).
Hey girl! Yes it is nice to come back here and see some familiar people. Now that I am coming up for surgery, I will be here more often. I have booked 6 weeks of work! Can't wait.
Thank you.. and Congratulations on your first week!!!!
I am at Humber River hospital and my surgery is June 17th.
I have the chocolate opti. Yesterday I was only able to get two in. Today my goal is to get three in as I understand it is needed to get my liver into shape for surgery.
We are also allowed broth, sugar free jello and two cups of veggies (celery, cucumber, green pepper). I had the broth and one cup of veggies for dinner.
I am going to try your recipe tonight. I am not a coffee drinker but I would rather the taste of coffee then the natural awful after taste.
Just have to keep in my the end game.
