My surgery is September 26th..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.

Hello I'm new to the group- my surgery is Monday September 25th[emoji1431]

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.
