My surgeon says no more fizzy soda drinks ever because the gas you consume stretches your stomach.... So I don't think mixing yr protein that way would make you feel very good; especially so soon after the surgery.

Think ice is going to be my saviour. It's cooling my sore insides and helping me to get my drinks down ok. Quite refreshing.

My op is June 20th and the surgeon wants me to lose 14 lb by then. If it was that easy I wouldn't be having the surgery eh ? Did you guys have to do a special diet beforehand ? I don't think we do a liquid diet pre-op in the uk.

WOW that made me blink a few times...... wonder if we were reading the same forum.

Hello,
I have not had my surgery yet (6/20/12) but you are doing great! You can eat soft puree food for 6 weeks you do not want to injury your stomach. So drink plenty of water/protein shakes you can have soft fruit or try mashed potatoes in a week. When you feel like you are hungry take a walk the exercise will help in your recovery.
Please do not give up!
