Hi Everyone! Newbie Here!

Hello everyone, yes I am one of the crazy ones to select a surgery date seven days before Thanksgiving! But, I have NO REGRETS! My surgery date was 11/16/12 and I am now on full liquids but I am struggling to get them all in. I know I'm not getting enough protein! Help!?

    What my surgeon's office told me was that the most important thing was to get my liquids in more than anything. Get as much protein as you can, but water > protein. Are you still drinking any meal replacement shakes? I use the Bariatric Advantage ones and it would take me like an hour or more to finish just one, but they still count as liquid.

    Thank you! I started protein shakes today but I am going to drink more water. I am also trying to eat a lot of sugar free popsicles.
