Two more days.

Oct 27, 2013

My surgery has been moved forward to October 29th. I started my clear liquid pre-op diet, which is THANKFULLY only two days. I drove from Clarksville to Franklin (about 70 miles) to find a Vitamin Shoppe that had the unflavored Isopure Zero Carb powder. The nutritionist at Dr. Houston's office said I should still try to get about 60 g of protein during this clear liquid pre-op phase. We got home with our unflavored Isopure powder, my husband mixed some up with my Kroger Brand Mio drink flavoring and it was DISGUSTING! I couldn't even choke it down. I tried again this morning, still HORRENDOUS! I dried diluting it further with more of the flavored water, but no luck. The flavor of the whey stuck to the back of my tongue, my throat, and got into my sinuses. Now, every time I cough, I taste that whey. *ack ack ack!* I tried doing the minimum amount a tablespoon (1/4 of a scoop) in about a cup of chicken broth with some pepper and hot sauce, and I managed to get that down. I am REALLY hoping it's just the Isopure powder that I hate, and that the Nectar and Unjury won't be so disgusting! We ordered some Roadside Lemonade from the Vitamin Shoppe in Franklin (it was 50% off), and my lovely mother ordered my a sample pack of Unjury. This is starting to look like it's going to be a VERY difficult two weeks (clear liquid stage post-op).
