My surgery is September 26th:D..IM SO EXCITED! but a little nervous.. I want to make sure I'm taking all of the Vitamins and get the correct amount of Protein my body needs daily..I DO NOT like Protein shakes:(.does anyone have a favorite protein shake that you recommend..and what do you say I need to STAY AWAY from?

I like the vanilla Premier Protein and add sugar free pudding (the powder) in either butterscotch or chocolate, and a scoop of Peanut Butter. You can also try vanilla extract, or really any of the extracts, but not much due to the sugars. I stick to vanilla that way I can change it up and make it taste different. It isn't amazing, but it is better! Hope this helps

Well this is my first post, started my diet even though he didnt require a 2 week diet I am doing it. I am having my surgery Sept 27th in Tiguanna Mexico, I am starting to question rather I am crazy or not for doing this honestly, but I do know my back, my knees and my over all well being should be so much better. I guess my only concern is and I know it sounds stupid is drinking a cold beer or having a bourbon on the rocks again..

Had mine Sept. 6, one week check up on the 12th. No problems at all, but I do have a complaint [emoji3]. I'm still on the liquids until the 27th, I see on here, some people say they go home to grits, oatmeal and Soups. I've been sampling meals a little [baked talapia, cabbage, okra very soft foods] when I cook for my family. Am I wrong to taste very small pieces?

I'm just now on full liquids. Surgery was 9/14. Clear Liquids for Days 1-4, Full liquids for Days 4-14, then puréed foods and then soft foods.

Are you still on clear liquids or full? On full liquids milky grits counts, as well as high Protein yogurt, pudding, Protein Shakes.

I like Premier Protein (strawberries and cream, caramel). Syntrax Nectar (powder) is good too (Oreo, truffle, strawberrry and many others). For convenience I like premier.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
