Starting to freak out a bit!

[Jenni77 60]

Ok so last Wednesday I mailed out my deposit. I have tracked it and know its there at the post office in Eagles Pass. My liquid diet is supposed to start by Thursday at latest. I guess they didn't go get mail today, which means I still have no clue as to what my liquid diet will be. I'm starting to really get upset. I have taken so long to plan this and like to be prepared for everything I do. This isn't my norm, I feel like it will have to be rushed now. Ugh!! Other than this hiccup the rest of the process has been pretty smooth. Maybe I'm just obsessing and being impatient. Either way, sorry for the vent but I have no support outside of this group as I have chose to keep the surgery to myself. Thanks.

Email susan she is very responsive. But I can tell you what the diet will be. 3-4 Protein shakes a day and 2-3 cups of vegetable Soup. She will send you the recipe. Make the whole recipe, split it into two-three pots and add different flavors to each to keep it interesting. The veggies in it are non-starchy so no corn, peas, potatoes, etc. Rather its onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, green Beans, and tomatoes. So if you want to get ready for Thursday today, run out and get some of those and the Protein Shakes. Keep your calories to 800-1000 per day with the shakes and the Soup (on my fitness pal, that soup had 50 calories for a cup) and you are all set!

Thank you so much!! This does help me prepare and shop for what I need. What types of shakes do you recommend? I have Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacements in chocolate. I'm sure ill get tired of that quick.

My fav ones are Syntrax mint chocolate chip and the chike coffee. We can semi-stand the Syntrax Cookies and cream but we're not liking many others. I can still drink the premier Protein ready made ones from SAMs/Costco.

Thanks so much! I will head out to Sams now. Premade sounds a lot easier for now. What I have is chocolate that tastes great with skim milk, but gets so thick I can barely stand to drink it.

I just received my 12 sample packages from Syntrax. It took 2 weeks to for shipping but so worth it. Total cost including shipping $13. That's a steal. I have strawberry kiwi, crystal sky, vanilla bean, pink grapefruit, lemon tea, Twisted cherry, apple ecstacy, lemonade, chocolate truffle, strawberry mousse, Cappuccino and caribbean cooler. WOW, what a combo. You have to call and request the sample package 888 333 7404. Good luck.

I had no idea that Syntrax makes a mint choc chip flavor! Now I'm excited! Wonder if they have it at the Vitamin Shoppe? On Amazon it's about $10 more than my Syntrax nectar Cappucino. And it's got alot more calories I just read it. And 6 gms of carbs. But it sure sounds yummy!

We SO look forward to it! We save it for the last one of the night so that even if we are sick of trying to eat at night, we might swallow that one without too much fuss. I bought my son one and he loves it too. It's got that minty, cooling thing on your tongue. To me, it tastes exactly like a milkshake. Yum.
