I have a question. I am so tired. I mean really tired. Like I said before I am on clear liquids for 2 weeks. I can't do this for that long. I am not hungry I just feel horrible. I want to make a protien shake so bad. I have read and it seems that skim milk is ok. So here is what I am thinking. 1 lowfat yogurt, 1 scoop of soy protien, some ice and some skim milk. Blend for a long time and drink slowly. How could this be so bad? I do not want to do anything to damage my band but I need something to make me feel alive. Please help me.

I've been drinking my protien shakes since two days after my surgery, it was one of the things my doctor recommended because the body needs protien to heal. Please check with yours to see if you can have the Protein shakes.< /p>

I just got approved by insurance company. I won't have surgery until June since DH and I are going on a cruise end of May. Doctor only requires 1 day of Clear Liquids before surgery. Most of you had 1-2 weeks. What do you think? Should I do a week of liquids? Did you have better results doing the liquid before?

I was one of those that started Clear Liquids 10 days before my surgery, the reason my doctor has his patients do this, is that it softens up the areas that he has to go through, as will as flush out the liver, I may have misunderstood him, (which is likely) but the results that I have seen have made it worth while! I just wished my scaled went high enough to for me to weigh in daily, as it was I could only weigh in at the doctors office, now I've lost enough to do it at home. But of the three stages, clear liquids, pureed and solids I am just about finished with the Clear liquids and ready to start pureed food, this is where it gets muddy for me, I hope to find some help and answers here on what pureed foods I can do! No baby foods YUK!
