My surgery is scheduled for February 13th!!!! I start the strict diet on Wednesday. I have been easing into it and have done well.....lost 11 pounds. Today I was craving carbs in a bad way. I don't want to sabotage this. Four more pounds in 2 weeks in order to have the surgery.

Good news though....my pre-op tests were outstanding. The doc said that I have a beautiful liver. I'm thinking of putting a picture of it on Christmas cards next year. Lol

Hi we're surgery twins I start my liqs wed too! What protein have u tried?

I really like the vanilla muscle milk and the strawberry AES. I'm not a fan of the slim fast stuff. For lunch, I often have lean beef protein broth. It warms me up here in chilly ND. I like the isopure juice too but have to drive 2 hours to get it. I bought some protein powders from GNC, but haven't tried them yet.

I'm looking forward to new beginnings. Blessings to all of you.
