Today is day 2 of the liquid phase of my diet since surgery. I'll be glad when I can start on blended food and get back to eating a little something solid. I'm finding that the EAS protein drinks are pretty good. I've tried the strawberry, dark chocolate and the vanilla. I like the vanilla best. I had some of the powder last night for dinner (Syntrax Nectar naturals - whey protein isolate). I mixed it with some orange flavored crystal light and it was ok - it reminded me of a mixture of honey and orange sherbert. It has 23 grams of protein. It's not something I would want on a regular basis, but during this liquid phase I think I can stand it.

I'm still having a little difficulty drinking all my water...I'm doing it, but have to make myself sip. NOT used to that. If I try to take a regular drink or a gulp it hurts a little - pressure in my chest. So I sip, sip, sip.

On the positive side....I am not hungry at all. I thought I would be craving all kinds of stuff, but so far, no. In fact, the thought of trying to eat anything right now kind of turns my stomach. I'm sure that will change as I get a little further out from the surgery. We'll see. My wife is very supportive, as well as the rest of my family. I will get back on the scale in a day or two and see how things are going there.

Cheers.
