Hello All,

I have surgery scheduled for next Monday, February 20, 2012.

I am so excited!

Today is my first day of liquid Protein shakes.

I am starving!!!

What did you do to help?

Any help or advise is much appreciated.

I too am a 02-20 sleever! I am on week two of the pre-op diet; 3 shakes a day and one small high protien low fat meal... the only thing that is saving me is that rather then having my 'meal' once a day, I split that food up and have it with each shake. It has made it much more tollerable. Only one more week! Yay us!!!!

Day 3 of Protein shakes.

I am not as hungry.

I had the Jello and it helped a lot.

Thank you, thank you!

ShoeLover and Sabrina140 please let's keep in contact so that

we can share our experiences.

I am still trying to learn the features of the site.

My pre-op diet was an atkins shake every 2 hours from the time I woke up until i went to bed. I can't remember how many I had in a day but for me it went fairly well. I definitely screwed it up on several days lol but all in all it worked b/c my surgeon said my liver had shrunk a lot. That is mainly what this is for. Think of your liver and how it will help the doctor not having it be as large and in the way. Good luck!

SF popsicles too. And the CVS brand of shake is my favorite.
