Wow I wasnt allowed to drink Protein Shakes until the solid liquid stage. Clear Liquids only until stage 2.

Get some unflavored Protein Powder and mix in with your broth. It was a lifesaver for me in the first few days post-op.

I was told smoothies contain a lot of sugar. The pre op diet I was on was a high Protein diet with no sugars and low carbs.

My surgery is on May 19 (woo!) and I'm starting my pre-op diet tomorrow. I wanted to know if anyone knows if homemade blended smoothies were included in the liquid diet?

Sending positive vibes and hope you're recovering okay! Update us when you can.

May 24th here

Hey, surgery went well. The first day was tough cause I was really high on meds, I couldn't stay up at all. The next day I started drinking my fluids and I find it easier to drink while I'm standing up or walking around. I don't have pain where the incisions are but I was getting a lot of acid reflux. Tums and walking has helped me a lot. They prescribed some Tylenol with codeine but I only take it at night so that I can sleep. I got home yesterday so today is my first day that I tried drinking my Protein. Not a big fan of it cause it's super thick but I did it in a little more than an hr. The best advice I can give is to sip while standing up and walk a lot. I hardly get gas pains.

Hi, my name is Yelissa and I'm 29yrs old. I finished my 6 month classes and all my testings. Now waiting for that call so I can sign the consent for a surgery date. I'm so excited and nervous. I have gone back and forth onhaving surgery but I finally decided that this is the best thing for me. I had an accident a couple of years ago in which I broke my knee and fractured my spine. I've had two knee surgeries, have disc bulging, arthritis and joint dysfunction on my spine. At this point I've been told I either lose the weight or get spine surgery. So of course I've chosen to lose the weight because I know that since I've gained weight, I've been feeling more pain. I now have a 2 yr old son so I'm worried about how I'm going to handle recovery and handling a toddler. Has anyone gone thru the same? I'm excited to feel healthy again and of course look like a hot mama. But I am a bit nervous cause it's another surgery. Any recommendations? I hope to make new friends here and wish everyone the best of luck.

Good luck😀😃😀

We basically right behind each other.😃 Yes we do we got this💪💪💪😀😘😍 Aww its ok love I was just letting some people know who have it or want to join in. Its alot of terrific and wonderful people in there.

Yay. I have to be at the hospital at 8am. Best of luck to you. We got this! [emoji123][emoji16]. I don't have kik.

Yay! I got my arrival time today. So may 8th at 10am. I'm so excited, I've read about good and bad experiences people have gone through after surgery. I'm hoping I don't have any problems. Wish you the best of luck as well. How are you doing with your pre op diet?

I know what you mean. Im allowed 1/3cup of rice and today I was like hmm let me have a little more since I won't be eating rice for a while. You have no idea how much I regretted that extra rice. I had the worst stomach pains and it sent me to the bathroom. These last two days although is not required, I'm going to do only liquids just because.

Omg me too I got the call today to let me know what time is surgery. Thank God is in the morning. I have to do two weeks of liquid before I can have baby food or pureed foods. I'm so excited that the date is right around the corner. Are you on liquid diet or the high Protein diet that allows one portioned meal?

So today I signed my consent form and got my surgery date for May 8th. Tomorrow I start my pre op diet and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. It's a big decision but I'm ready for it. Any suggestions? I've tried the Tripact vanilla latte Protein Shake with almond milk and I like it. I hope I still like it after surgery. Would love to hear about everyones experience whether it be pre op or post op.

Mine is at 10:30. The pre-op diet was hardest the first three days for me. But I've lost almost 20lbs so that has kept me motivated. Good luck!
