I am really excited yet nervous about my procedure. I would like to network with someone in the Michigan area that has had or will be having the procedure.

    Did you do a week on the presurgical diet? Also which Protein shakes do you drink?

    I only had a 2 day preop diet and I did drink some ready made Protein drinks from the doctors office but other than those I haven't really gotten into Protein Shakes...I tried but yuck. :-(
