Clear Liquid....does this include a protein skake made with water?
-
my guidlines state that the day before surgery I can do all clear liquids and 3 Protein shakes as Meal Replacements so either a pre made shake or a powde mixed with either Water or SKIM MILK. and then nothing after midnight. ' Every surgeon is different, just clarify with your NUT...some arent allowed milk on pre op.

I've purchased Unjury sample kit as.well, unjury seems to be the only one I like aside from Premier Protein. Sams does have them, where I'm located anyways. 12 pack for $18.88...only place I can find it! Also our local Vitamins shoppe hosts a bariatric night once a month where u can come and sample tons of protein powders and drinks. Even on a regular day they are really good with letting u sample. Try them!!

I'm pre op as well but can relate in tons of ways. I started this journey officially in January 2014. I'm prone to anxiety and panic attacks, in fact I had a full blown panic attack during my first meeting with my surgeon which led to palpitations and having to see a cardio for clearance. All is well it was all anxiety related. I've had this forever. I jumped through all the loops and was scheduled for surgery Sept '14...long story short, 4 days into my pre open diet I let me thoughts and anxiety take over..I cancelled my surgery. I weighed 300 lbs at the time got down to 289, decided I was too scared for surgery. Well in March of this year I met back up with my surgeon to try again. And guess what I weigh now? The highest I've ever ever been, 323 lbs. In a matter of months. Clearly I cannot do this on my own. I'm in terrible shape, can barely walk, back pain, can't move around, sex life sucks, I'm married with 4 kids and I'm only 30. I'm now scheduled for Aug 11. I still have anxiety and panic, I'm still terrified of surgery, all aspects of it, however I have to do this. I'm more afraid of a heart attack, diabetes, stroke and being bed ridden. Ill take this surgery and run with it. I've recognized my fear. We got this. Stay strong.

Name is Sharon. Have always been a pretty laid back, easy going person, easy to get along with. Nothing extravagant or out of the world. I'm so at ease with the simple things in life, shelter, food water, clothes and family/love. Doesn't get any "simpler" than that lol
