Hi Kim,
I am 47 years old and weigh 267 pounds. I live in North Dakota. I am scheduled for the gastric bypass on 3-26-14. My surgeon requires the 2 week Protein shake diet prior to surgery. I need to drink 3 shakes a day and can have one diet frozen dinner (less than 320 calories) and 1 1/2 cups vegetables a day. I can also have fat free or light salad dressing, broth and sugar free Jello. Could you possibly add any of these to your diet? I was also told that I can add any kind of extract to my shake for different flavoring.
I am starting this on Tuesday and am feeling very anxious about this whole thing. I have been trying to "squeeze in" all of my fattening favorite foods before Tuesday.
Take care and I hope to hear back from you soon.
Sandy
My bypass is scheduled for March 26th. I quit smoking on February 16th after many years of enjoying this bad habit.
I bought some of the electronic cigarettes that do not contain nicotine-only the Water vapor which has helped tremendously.
