I found out my pre-op liquid diet will be two weeks of protien shakes and water. I have pre-surgery meeting with my NUT, one with my PCP, and one with my surgeon. July 30th I will be on the losers bench.

See if you can have sugar free Popsicles at all or beef/chicken broth. I got bullion cubes and they say they have 0 cals. Also, I asked if I could blend my Protein with ice and they told me it was ok. Makes it seem more filling and crunching on the ice makes it feel like I am actually eating.

Also, I have been adding flavoring extracts to my shakes. You can find them in the baking aisle at Walmart by the spices. Lots of flavors... banana, almond, cherry... They are calorie free.

Punkin I will definitely talk to my NUT on that. This would be very helpful.

Thanks for the advice.

good luck!!! The diet has been the hardest part so far!!! Plus side, I lost 14 pounds in a week.... I guess it's kinda worth it, but sucks all the same!!!
