Hello all,

I finally got my date of Dec 13!!!! Any other Dec 13 Sleevers?

My surgeon requires nothing but liquids (Protein shakes). Typically' date=' a 10 day liquid diet is required prior to surgery but for me the surgeon made an exception. 20 days liquid diet! [/quote']

:-( have you looked into any protein brands yet?

Yeah, unfortunately I really dislike all protein drinks. I will likely alternate between Carnation and Unjury. They are the two brands that I can stand the most. It is going to be a long month until surgery. I start liquids the day after Thanksgiving.

Yes I have. I actually like the syntrax nectars .... Lemon tea is good

Hmm, might have to give those a try.

I should start with you. I was honestly thinking about doing all liquid anyway... To help prepare. I have read other posts on here that some members have enjoyed the Premier Protein chocolate shakes hitch have 30 grams protein. I have never had them before though.

I know it sounds miserable, but I also know it has the best results for losing pre-op weight and most importantly, shrinking the liver. The surgeon is anticipated extra difficulty due to scarring so wants as much room to work in there as possible.

See and that is exactly why I was thinking to do a liquid anyway is because of the shrinking of the liver. She said mine looks ok from the ultrasound but it is always better to be safer and make it easier for the surgeon when they operating.

That was my thought and why I didn't even try to argue with him. If he says it will make a night and day difference in the difficulty of the procedure then I'm going to do what I can to make it easy.
