Sorry I posted this to the wrong thread but it is pretty good for those bad days

Hi, I'm 2 months out and sometimes I don't feel I can stomach a whole meal or a protein drink. So I buy Unjury unflavored protein powder and international coffee low cal iced coffee in the carton. I put a cup of iced coffee, a scoop of protein powder and 2 teaspoons of benefiber in a shaker cup...

Thank you both Spa Guy and Ralph. Ralph, thanks so much, that was a mouthful! So much valuable info. I've never needed a message board so much before and you guys (and gals) have made this a rewarding part of my journey. I will save your advice, Ralph. Good luck everyone.

Ewww, thanks, I guess I won't be chewing gum. I will ask the doc which of my meds I can crush and which need to be switched to liquid too.

I have bionic knees too. I like my comfy recumbent bike, it's very low impact on the joints and when I plug in my iPod I almost forget what I'm doing. Good luck today and best of health

Wow that's a long time. They tell you not to chew gum? Right now I'm sort of hooked on nicorettes but I'm working on that too. That will probably be easy since they make me cough and I can't imagine coughing with sutures all over my abdomen.

Thank you for the info, I'm sure the doc has his list, just wanted a general idea. So your answer was great. Yes, times been flying, I guess that's part of what's nerve-wracking :rolleyes:

Hi, BeanQueen14. I'm new here too as of a few minutes ago. Just want to wish you best of everything and speedy recovery.

Hi all! Never posted anything before in my life but for the first time I feel like I need to. Been reading the threads for a few days and feel like a peeping tom without saying howdy. Everything I've read has been so helpful and I want to thank you all for the info. Started my preop 3week diet...
