No Protein drinks at all, no liquids AT ALL that have calories. The only exception to any of his "rules" is if you are TOTALLY starving (which we really aren't -- except for head hunger) he says you can have a greek yogurt OR a protein bar.....but he says rarely. Do you all feel sorry for me????

I was allowed Protein Drinks when I was at your stage..........I probably would have starved otherwise...LOL. Then when I was on food the drinks were tossed from the plan!!!

I start my preop diet today. It is 5 Protein Shakes a day. Guess I'm done chewing for a while!!! Surgery next Thursday with only Clear Liquids the day before. It's really amazing to see how many people are SO supportive and others make it VERY clear that they think I'm crazy to do this when CLEARLY I should just go on a diet.........cuz that's the normal way. GRRRR!! I gave them info to read but don't think it's happened. Oh well gotta look at it as their problem not mine. I am getting nervous about the surgery itself.......long few months. Hope everyone does well.

I have my preadmission testing Thursday ------------ December 1st. I will find out then if I need to be on liquids pre op. I already lost around 25 pounds but they still might want the Optifast... yuck!! I am drinking Protein Shakes that REALLY taste good for Breakfast and lunch right now, but that's my plan (doctor approved) and I still can eat dinner. Well whatever, cuz my surgery is December 22 which means a month from now I will be home on liquids, recovering and sip, sip, sipping. lol!! Pretty excited and want it over. Kind of a long 6 months.... sigh!!! We are all giving ourselves the best Christmas gift ever!!!

You're right....done is done. We've all done this kind of thing or none of us would probably be here. Good luck with the Protein shakes!!! :bigear:

I have my PAT on Dec. 1st so not sure yet about pre op liquids. With my doctor some do and some don't. Surgery December 22. MERRY CHRISTMAS to me...can't wait
