I ordered a bunch of sample packets from www.nashuanutrition.com and I am so glad I did - for variety's sake alone! The sample packets are $1.95 per and quite a selection. Some weren't as tasty as I'd hope they would be but still worth checking out!

So I will be two weeks post op on the 8th and I'm wanting some feedback on a couple experiences I'm having. I breezed through the first ten days of liquid Protein consumption with few difficulties. I got cleared to phase three (yogurt, pudding, cream of wheat) on Thursday. They say I should aim for a quarter cup but if I eat more than a tablespoon I get HORRIBLE heartburn! Can I attribute this to just over filling my stomach? Has anyone had a similar experience they can share? Also I have what feels like a pulled muscle and wonder if I'm ignoring a potential hernia. Mostly it's when I bend over or move from sitting to standing and vice versa. So I'd love to hear if anyone's had that going on as well...

No, not taking anything like prilosec, just popping tums when things get bad. Really though I would rather prevent the heartburn before it starts if possible...

I'm March 25th as well! Not too nervous, just anxious to have it over with and get on the path to wellness! I assume I start pre-op drinking tomorrow, as that's when I meet with the doctor for the last time before Monday. I anticipate I will be starving, but I just keep telling myself how it will all be worth it in the end!
