postalmom got a reaction from TerriWoods in Where are all the 50 something bypass patients?
I'm 60 and getting ready to retire. I also have Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and all the assorted aches and pains that come with age. My surgery is scheduled for 5/23/18. What I'm scared of is that it normally takes us older folks longer to heal than younger folks. But since I've started the liquid diet , I've already lost nine pounds and have stopped taking my quick acting insulin. Looking forward to hopefully getting to stop most of my prescription meds and feeling better!

postalmom got a reaction from Frustr8 in Did everyone go through a liquid pre-op diet?
I am doing a Protein Shake and clear liquid diet for one week and a sugar free clear liquid diet for 2 days before surgery. My problem is I can't find a Protein shake that isn't the most disgusting thing I've ever put in my mouth! Anyone have any suggestions? I'm on my fourth day of clear liquids.
