I drink Gatorade Zero to help get my fluids in. Little sips all day. I can drink LS Chicken broth and eat SF Jell-O to help with that too. Also, I was told to get the powder form of protein, because there is too much filler in the premade shakes and it's not the whey isolate protein that I need in the beginning. You actually have to drink more of the premade to get the amount of grams of protein. I used 1 scoop of Isopure to 4-6 oz. of skim plus milk. It's 25 gms. I think it's 11 oz. for 30 gms. in the premade shakes. I did get tired of the flavor, so I am expecting an order today of the variety pack of Syntrax Nectar just to switch it up. My nutritionist said the first ingredient needs to be whey protein isolate not concentrate. Do you have a nutritionist you can talk to about what else you can eat/drink?

My doc told me to take the chewable Gas-X. I had my surgery on the 23rd. They gave me Gas-X in the hospital. But at home, I took 1 tab in the AM and one in the PM. Maybe you can call an emergency line and get in touch with your Dr.

Thanks! I was a little ragey? being on edge all weekend! Good luck on the 30th!

Yay! Good luck!

I just got the call I'm back in the schedule for tomorrow! I'll get a call after 2 to let me know what time I go in! Yay!!!

My surgery date is scheduled for the 23rd, or so i thought! I got a call on Thursday that insurance hadn't approved the surgery yet. They postponed me until July 17th. I asked if I could call my insurance company and they said they were the worst to deal with. I told my husband, who works in a school district, and he made a phone call. Long story short, the rep from his school called me and said he got all my records from the Dr's office and faxed them to the insurance company with a request for an expedited approval. Mind you I have been on the liquid diet since Monday 6/15 and my COVID test was scheduled for this morning. I called the rep a few times yesterday and the last time I called, he said it was approved by the insurance! YAY! I called the Dr's office, and the girl in the insurance department wouldn't be back in until Monday 6/22. So I went for my test and I'm still on the liquid diet. Praying when this chick comes in on Monday, she sees the approval and I can still have the surgery on Tuesday, not wait a whole month! I'm down 11 lbs so far...imagine if I stayed on the liquid diet until July 17th! LOL!
