Can anyone recommend a liquid brand of glucosamine chondroitin MSM? I take Osteo Bi-flex brand in pill form now for joint pain' date=' but they do not appear to make the formula in liquid form. I take two a day, and they are big horse pills, which will be a problem swallowing after surgery.[/quote']

Ok so those of you doing a preop diet what does it consist of? Kaiser had a preop for us to loose the 10% so 1200 cal program. I go for preop apt this Friday and surgery the 10th. What kind of liquids are you on for that part right before surgery?

My pre-op is strictly limited to protein shakes and water. It's tough! I drink Premier Protein which I don't mind the taste of.

I am sitting here chuckling. I thought maybe you were getting married to someone named Newhouse between now and surgery. Not only did I think that a strange way to spend a honeymoon' date=' but I wanted to inquire as to what substance you were on to be so calm in the face of your wedding and life altering surgery! :-)

My surgery is the 4th and I am pretty much obsessing.[/quote']

That's hilarious. I am pretty calm but also growing impatient. Can I just have my surgery already? Sigh. Went for pre-op testing today and I asked the admissions person if there was an opening today. Lol. She just laughed.
