My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Can't believe this day is finally here. Scared and nervous, but excited at the same time! Didn't have to do a liquid diet at all, except for the day before surgery which is today! So said my last good bye to my favorite dish last night.

Good luck to all the others who are in the same boat as me. Can't wait to start loosing now!

I am having my surgery tomorrow too YEAH!! I have a buddy!! I have been on a liquid diet since Sunday afternoon. Not too bad but surely cleans you out. LOL!! My surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am and they are calling today with a time to arrive. Its very exciting, scary, happy and nervous all at the same time. GOOD LUCK!!

Yeah! It's great to have a buddy! I am heading out in a while to buy all the vitamins and puddings, jello, beverages and stuff. Any recommendations about the best protein shakes to start with?

Best wishes for a speedy recover for you both!! See you on the losers bench!

I need to pick up protein shakes as well however my dr only has us use it for 2 weeks after surgery and that is only if we can tolerate it. He said its better to stay hydrated the first couple of weeks than to try to tolerate something and get sick. If you want the names of the ones my surgeon suggested let me know

Good luck guys! You will do great. Keep us posted.

svhonda,

I suggest you try Premier Protein sold at Sam's Club. I started my pre-op protein schedule a few days ago and I actually like them. No problem getting them down. I bought vanilla and chocolate and both are good. Your taste may vary so don't get too much at once.

From my experience the protein shakes I liked pre op now taste overly sweet and just yucky post op...

I use Garden of Life Raw Protein and Raw Meal normally. I have been experimenting with other brands but none of them stack up to the quality or price.
