Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Hey Gwen, I had my surgery a day before you...I was the youngster walking around with my IV " POLE " right after surgery =O). I have been doing great and have tried a few smoothies. 1/2 Bannana, 3-4 strawberries 2-3 spoonfuls of yougurt and ice. I usually mix my creatin and my whey protien into that for breakfast. I can only drink 1/2 and save the rest in the freezer for dinner. You can substitue other fruits too. I have tried watermelon (chewed real good) and its great. I mix my citricel in cranberry juice...that really kicks the flavor. I used to hate cranberry juice....now I love it. WEIRD??!!?? I have eaten the chicken and the noodles out of the chicken soup...I had no problems...I tried that yesterday. I too, am a chicken about what I can taste...I decided I would not try anything for a little while. Gatorade is old to me now, so I drink OJ, cranberry and water. They seem to settle fine. Good luck to you and let me know how things are going with you... Oh and when I weighed after surgery, I was 21 lbs lighter!!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Hi , Try mixing equal parts of cranberry juice and orange juice....it's wonderful. Just be careful with the acid in the cranberry juice, sometimes it bothers me.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Gwen, I loved watermelon with lots of salt. The first two weeks that was my salvation. I spitout the pulp though. I would sit in front of the computer with salted watermelon and a fork and a paper cup to spit the pulp in. I also ate other fruits, but not the pulp during hte first two weeks. Also fruit popcycles are good! Dinah in AL > Is there anyone out there that has recipes for smoothies. I need > something to hide my citrucel in. I am also getting anxious for some > fruit.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Good to see you posting again Genz, Have been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I am going for some orange juice tomorrow so I can make your drink . Do you have any tips on the citrucel, I am having a major gag problem with that stuff. I need to hide it somewhere. The carafate is bad enough but I can get that down and survive it because I know it ends in a month, but my word that citrucel is gonna be around for life.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Thanx , I am real anxious to try a smoothie, something anything refreshing.The one thing I have enjoyed and 2 weeks ago would not have touched for any amount of money is V-Juice. I love it, I pour me some in a 3 oz dixie cup, add some salt and drink it while I nibble on a saltine cracker. And I did eat some chicken and stars soup today, the stars were easier to make sure I got them chewed good before swallowing. (like I said I am a big chicken------ I do not want to experience dumping) Do you remember who I was? We talked at clinic Tues comparing the best gatorade flavor? Let me complete that debate now, There is no best flavor. haha Take Care and stay in touch.
