my doc had me do a 2week pre-op of two meal replacements (isopure strawberries n cream protein shake which i mixed with a powerade zero grape) for dinner 4-6 oz lean meat and upto 3 non-starchy vege's

i dropped 35lbs pre-surgery! I was not allowed more than 45 carbs in a day.

It worked !!!

Way to go ginajeans! stick with it!!!

I am also on day 7 today. I lost 9lbs since surgery. I knew according to my paperwork that clear liquids (broth,wtr sf popsicles) for first 7 days, then move into full liquids which includes my protein. So i call the office to ask a couple of diet questions and the PA tells me to not start into full liquids until my stomach tells me that i am hungry. So here it sit on clear liquids! I do worry for how long i should go with no nutrients or protein? Anyone have any thoughts on this you might have learned from others or your doctor?

thanks
