Not doing great in pre-op diet
Can I just use the powders instead of all the boost and premade drinks? How do people on a budget do pre op.

Not doing great in pre-op diet
I’m honestly struggling too. So much stuff is expensive. I find it hard to get all these protein drinks and things other people use. I’m on disability already. Are there some home remedies for this? Also Baritastic wants carbs lowered and everything i eat has them. How can I avoid then and get the highest protein? No fat.

2 rides a Ferris wheel and we play bingo with corn pieces. And eat bar pizza. The one bar in the middle of Ashley had amazing pizza. And I remember there was a VHS rental place. And he stayed that way for years. He would have 3 VHS or something and only 1 DVD so you waited weeks to rent stuff. Lol

I was the last senior class at the original olentangy HS before they new one had seniors in 2004. Yeah that area is crazy. In Ashley I lived on Morrow county road 21. Literally to this day probably still BFE. Used to take us 45 minutes to an hour to find grocery stores. Except for whipples ice cream market too. Gas stations. Or a pharmacy market. The brown jug was great though we got days off school for fair since everyone did 4H. Except me. So I’d just go enjoy the food. The horses and the rides. I miss brown jug. Wow. And yes I know a few of those places. Hogback road urban legends. Haha spooky. And Radnor. Cardingron. There was another ice cream place there too we liked and a small diner was like in the front of an old house downtown. Yeah. Memories. Downtown Delaware I lived in much older. I lived on West winter st. My window looked over at buns restaurant. So much new stuff there last I went. Ashley though. I hated it so much as a kid when new toys or things came out. I’d want to go get them and have to wait a week or so till we went shopping. Mainly music albums. I’d be weeks behind. Thank heavens for digital now. Hahah Kids that live in the country can still hear their faves. My step dad thought it was cool to call radios and request singles and record them for us. I’d laugh and explain this wasn’t the same as opening up an album. Reading the liner notes. Seeing the photos. Context and stories. Lyrics. Etc. And my mom and her friend at the time Shelley are around mid fifties. My grandmother is around 70 something. Small world.

Clear liquids.....I hate broth
My doctor told me broth and water of my choice would be first meal after surgery. I said of choice. He joked and said Dasani, Tap, or Aquafina and then beef, chicken, or vegetable broth. It made me laugh. But also scared of the fate that awaits me... lol Reading about the products people love and hate though reminded me of that. And also the fact that I too am picky. I’ll have the Mac and cheese and the Dr Pepper when I wake up please. Haha just kidding.

@Frustr8 I meant to tell you. My mom was raised around Mt Vernon Ohio. I grew up around Columbus, Delaware, Ashley and Powell Ohio. So I saw a fellow buckeye. I currently live in Orlando to work for Disney. ;)
