Most convenient stores sell Protein shakes now.

I know that doesn't help much if you can't leave work.

Also, if you can eat and there is a Chinese delivery in your area, a stir fry with veggies works in a pinch too. Just tell them meat and veggies with no other oils.

above is a good idea but in the future (tomorrow) in the future buy some to leave in the car and at the office. I learned like you are and now have them everywhere and different amounts of Protein so I never go short or get to many cal. drink a lot of hot Water or tea if u like that taste I also have Snapple everywhere...like u I am determine to make this work.

Most places sell slim fast shakes which is better than nothing. Although nothing works too... I did it once... and drank Water all day. I was fine but I dont advise it.

Are you able to have solids? If so just go easy with a protien snack or bar. If not is there a place to get some Soup?

You will keep extra one in your desk from now I bet. :)

Be ready next time.... Buy a Blender Bottle container (they are super cheap) keep it at work. In the future what you can do is store Protein bars and Protein powder in your cabinets at work (just in case)

PS: I have the green one (i loveit) paid only $5

Lovely,

First advice remember we are not starving. Just because we forget our food automatically we think we are hungry. Just calm down and think. We all go t through this..... and most important relax.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
