Thank you Webchickadee for that post...it was really up-lifting. I have also realized that I had put almost 5 hours between my first shake and my second. I need forty to make myself more aware. I also have a fatty liver and I refuse to let that end up stopping my surgery. I also went out and bought some decaf herbal.tea to help.curves the hunger. Ty all foe the great responses.

Thanks guys!! I'm hoping I can! I'm dong the premier Protein shakes...vanilla and chocolate at 30g protein....any suggestions for other ones?

I'm from Mn too. I'm in the Minnetonka area. I have my surgery scheduled for January 28 at St. Francis Hospital in Shokopee with Dr. Jayson Dock. Hope every is going.

My doctor will be Dr. Jayson Dock.....I will be having my surgery at St. Francis Hospital in Shokopee Mn. Mary-Beth is the wls director and is absolutly amazing.

I started my pre opt diet today....and I have to admit at first I thought it was going to be ok...but I am absolutely starving. With my bmi only being 38 my doctor has me drinking two protien shakes and then one "Lean Cuisine" meal. I was hoping that I would be able to save that meal for when my family has dinner...but I am so hungry....any tips anyone might have. Surgery is scheduled for January 28th and I refuse to fail on this!

I start mine next week...mine is similar. I noticed that a lot of people do three shake and no meal.....but my doc said the two shakes and a Lean Cuisine.

Im scheduled for January 28th at St. Francis Hospital in MN with Dr. Docke.

I can't lie, I'm feeling a mixture of emotions. I was finally approved by my insurance company and my surgery was scheduled for January 28th. I'm hoping the next month goes by quickly and the nerves settle down. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. ,
