May 3, for me!

May 6th...but wish it was tomorrow so I can get on with this.

I get vanilla Protein powder and use skim milk. I use 1 tbl spoon of sugar free fat free choc. pudding mix and shake it. It tastes just like choc milk. That's what I have been living on for 2 weeks. Also you can get PB2 if you like Peanut Butter and mix it in, and it tastes like a reeces peanut butter cup.

May 13. I start my pre op diet Monday. I have already waned my husband and coworkers I will probably be terrible to be around for that time.

I don't go to my dr until the 7th and ill try some of his shakes but since ill have a week on my own can anyone recommend any good shakes I could get at the store? Thanks good luck to all!

With everyone talking about their mood on the preop diet (and my own personal fear) I am beginning to believe that I did hide my feelings with food. Regardless of what the mood is...happy...mad...sad...I used food to either celebrate or drown out those emotions.

Perhaps the key is journaling or letting someone know how I'm feeling. Even if its on here...better than eating that feeling. Congrats to those of you that are recognizing that they're feeling grouchy or that this is really hard...and for posting it on here.

May 10th! Woohoo!

May 17 for me. Im so nervous but excited. Any ideas in post op liquids

May 13th. I start my preopt tomorrow. Getting ready to go buy my shakes. Any suggestions?

Trader Joe's sells pure protein 35. I also ordered them online. I tried to not have same flavor twice in one day. Order PB2 on amazon. It really helps make shakes thicker n yummy if u like peanut butter

I use Unjury (powder) shakes that you order on the internet. So far I hate the chocolate splendor (and I LOVE chocolate), the vanilla and strawberry aren't bad, but I like the unflavored mixed with crystal light the best. Good luck to you all!

FYI Tawnya' date=' I have been a bear at times. But, one week into it now, and a little better. I was homicidal for a few minutes on Friday when I saw the pizza guy deliver a pizza next door![/quote']

Lol... I know I have been cranky several times and that's my q to take a nap. For the most part I feel better now. I still get a little emotional when certain foods are eaten around me and I know I can't have it. I totally can relate to you. I just hope after my surgery on May 1st that I don't feel so hungry, because it seems these last few days I have been feeling real hungry.

May 24!!
