  2. My surgery is Next Wednesday and have been on the 3 Protein shakes a day and 2 Lean Cuisines and all the non starchy vegies I can eat.. .. It seems to be going ok. I know my body went thru a little bit of shock since my caloric intake dropped almost a 1000 calories a day. Cannot wait for the surgery.. A little nervous,, but also excited.. Is there anyone else having there surgery on April 16th I live in NH...
  3. I love anything by Unjury.. Does not have the after taste..
  4. Well I am on Day one of the Pre Op Diet.. Not to bad.. My Blood sugar was lower so did not take Insulin due to being afraid of it crashing and me having to eat a lot of sugar to bring it back up.. Ended up being a little hungry so drank 8 ozs of chicken broth which I just found out I cannot have during this time.. Only got to drink 2 Protein shakes and 2 Lean Cuisines that are less than 300 calories and less than 30 carbs.. Lets see what tomorrow brings..
  5. I went and bought all the protein shakes mixes and can eat 2 frozen meals under 300 calories and less than 30 carbs and 3 protein shakes a day.. Worried about me going from a higher caloric diet down to a little over 900-1000.. My surgery is in 2 weeks from tomorrow so need to be on this diet for 2 whole weeks to make my liver smaller.. Day before surgery is just a liquid diet.. Anyone else from NH having this surgery this month or anytime soon?
  6. I start my Pre Op diet in the morning.. My Doctor has me on 3 protein shakes day and 2 frozen dinners with less than 30 calories and less than 30 Carbs.. I had 3 choices to choose from but decided to go this route.. I hope my Liver shrinks in the 2 weeks so I do not have complication on the 16th of April when I have my surgery..
  7. I am so excited for April 16th to come. Need to start the Low Cal Diet starting on April 2nd so let see how this goes. My hope is not to have to take anymore Diabetic shots.. and all the meds that goes with it...
  8. When I went to one of my classes we tried a bunch of Protein shakes.. The favorite one of all was the Chocolate Shakes by Unjury.. You can either buy then from Amazon Unjury directly...
  9. I know I have the liquid Vitamins that will need to be taken 4 times a day Post Op
  10. I am new to this site... My surgery date is April 16, 2014.. I am so excited that I can barely wait.. I am having the Bypass due to having Barrett's Esophagus in stead of the sleeve.. I trust my Doctor for making the change.. It just has given me more to read now.. Have all the shakes and books ready and rearing to go..
