    Hey Confidently,




    I just got home about 2 hours ago from the hospital. This pain is sooo bad, they I have thrown up- just took my very limited supply




    of OXy and it came up with the throw up. cried a little Over that.


    I’m soo sorry to hear that! Have you spoken to your surgeon?! What have they advised you to do? I’m surprised they sent you home in that condition

    Hey everyone. This is my first post. I found this site last night while struggling mentally with the LSD. My surgery is also on 3/9. I am on a high Protein liquid-only diet for 14 days. The last two are Clear Liquids only.

    I wanted to share some of the drinks that I have found to be appealing in the last 7 days to help some of you who are just starting.

    The Primer Protein chocolate was my go-to, but in the last week, I have found it to be too thick and a little chalky. I seem to have latched on to the Muscle Milk Light. It's not as thick but checks all the boxes.

    My guidelines in my book for shakes are under 160 calories, between 15-30 grams of protein and less than 5 grams of sugar. I can have 5-6 of them.

    I'm also allowed 2 servings of skim milk, all the Water (with crystal light) I can drink, sugar-free Jello and popsicles as well as broth. I did the Swanson's Bone Broth stuff three times last week and that was all I could handle. So I do bullion cubes in hot Water, or I found a brand called "Better than Bullion" which is a paste that you add to water. It's pretty good.

    I try to save my milk for night time and treat myself to a Protein Powder shake. I make sure it meets the guidelines listed above. Ghost Protein has one called chips Ahoy. It's amazing. I drink that about 9:30 pm. I'm not hungry overnight and don't get hungry for Breakfast until about 8:30 am the next day.

    I'd also like to note that Grape Crystal Light is wonderful. It tastes so good!

    Thought it was just me with the chalky taste... also they leave my lip a bit stiff lol the crystal light have been better than I thought but I find some of them to be a bit too sweet

    2 weeks and they made it clear that if you don't do it, you won't have the surgery. I've fasted before, so I know what to expect. I used to fast for 14-21 in the fall, but the acid reflux couldn't handle green juice fasting anymore.

    Actually, I'm into day 2, and so far, so good. I think it's the Protein Shakes.

    I’ve sneaked a few nibbles 😩 but it just hit me surgery is MONDAY 🤯 NO more nibbles!
