what the heck is nepro...Boxman

Renal protein drink I believe.
Title: Re: Admins and Moderators
Post by: flip on October 11, 2008, 07:24:28 PM
yep, made by the same people who make Ensure. It's a high protein drink designed for people on dialysis. I get it through my dietition for half price. It's a little bit thick so the kahlua improves the consistency. I wouldn't recommend adding the kahlua for diabetics due to the caffeine and sugar content.

Post by: Bill Peckham on October 11, 2008, 07:47:03 PM
I went to lunch with a friend this afternoon and had a drink - tea with amaretto in it - that was good for a two hour nap but now I am ready for another one.

Hope the biopsy turns out alright boxman

Tea with Amaretto, now there's an idea.

But it makes Nepro taste sooo much better and easier to drink! Haven't tried it with Vodka though :rofl;
I get easily burnt out drinking Nepro or any of the other Ensure type drinks and a kick would be a good thing.

And what is a Long Island Ice Tea made with?
Title: Re: Admins and Moderators
Post by: G-Ma on October 11, 2008, 07:55:58 PM
 :puke;   Is Nepro anything I want to try??? what is it really like?   Can you get samples through the dietician????  I see mine on Tues so think I'll check cuz my protein intake is worse than bad.

And what is a Long Island Ice Tea made with?

mmm on a hot summer day

Recipe printed from DRINKSMIXER.COM (http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink590.html)

Long Island Iced Tea

1 part vodka
1 part 1800® Tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®

Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.

Most dietitians have a sample or two around. Mine gives me order forms for half price ( about $45 dollars for a case of 24). If memory serves me correct, a can has about 16 grams of protein. I prefer the vanilla but it also comes in butter pecan and berry flavors. It's like a thick shake.

Actually Flip had the biopsy. Have another drink Bill. :rofl; :rofl;

Hope it went well Flip. I went in for a kidney biopsy and came out with a staph infection in my leg and FSGS.

Thanks Box for doing such a fine job.  :bow;

This might be a very dumb question but i need to ask. I haven't had a drink since starting dialysis 1 yr. ago. If i got drunk, would i stay drunk until my next dialysis.
Title: Re: Admins and Moderators
Post by: flip on October 13, 2008, 07:53:46 AM
only if you keep on drinking or have a really bad liver.
Title: Re: Admins and Moderators
Post by: Run8 on October 13, 2008, 08:09:57 AM
So, did my neph. tell me this because he is against drinking? Or because it is true? Please explain, because i would like to have a few drinks here and there, but I'm afraid to do it because my wife is afraid to needle me.
Title: Re: Admins and Moderators
Post by: flip on October 13, 2008, 08:35:13 AM
I still drink a little and my neph has no objections. I don't have any other medical problems like diabetis that would create a problem. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver and not the kidneys.

In case anyone is interested......one of the primary ingredients in Nepro is taurine, just like my Red Bull. I'm working on a new drink with Red Bull and Cuervo Black...calling it Red & Black. What do you think?
