We'll good luck to you please keep us posted of your success , I'm also worried about that " last meal" idea. Cause like the morning after a wedding or some type of celebration where people eat a lot I wake up starving. Lol. Lol.

I do that. If I gorge myself with dessert I feel like I'm starving when I wake up. If I eat lean and green I'm not hungry at all and actually skip breakfast and/or lunch (a big no-no). But mine is with sweets. If I have dessert the night before.

Where did you get the flavored infused broth?

They are by Swanson and are in the box type containers that Swanson broths come in.

Ms keekee when does your preop start? Right now I'm just drinking the carnation essentials for 3 times a day.. That's what my surgeon suggested. I did order a starter pack from unjury. It came with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and chicken soup flavor.. I've tried the chocolate and the chicken and they are pretty good.. And I'm allowed broth.. I can't stomach the plain broth from a can it carton so I've been straining chicken soup or veg soup and just drinking the broth.. Yum!! Good luck!!

Andrew.. I would kill for some cod! Haha good luck!!

Not til Feb/march sometime. But I have to do the 6 month supervised diet. That's what's killin me now..lol

Ive read some bad things about muscle milk. Its got some bad stuff in there.

Mmm I love the strawberry muscle milk. So far muscle milk is my favorite.

I'm on day 10 of mine....but my surgeon is allowing full liquids ( cream soups, farina, cottage cheese), so mine hasn't been bad at all. Except for when my husband got pizza....it was hard, but I stayed away.
