I started the 2 week pre-surgery diet on Monday & am having trouble with the liquid Protein drinks. I have IBS & the shakes are not agreeing with my stomach. I have only had between 400-600 cal. each day of mostly protein. My nutritionist told me 2 8oz. shakes per day & a 4 oz. protein & 1 cup of vegetables for dinner. I am not starving but am hungry.

I am very nervous about the surgery. I have 2 boys ages 13 & 11 and am worried about the coverage needed for them & their practices. How soon after the surgery can I drive?

I am doing this for me & no one else. I am over 100 lbs. over weight & need to get this off of me.

Hi cristinaann. This is a question best answered by your personal doc, since they all have slightly different standards. My doc said I could drive as soon as I felt like it (about 3 days.....I had my surgery done on a Friday of a long weekend).
