The class went well very informative on what I can and cannot eat. My 2 week preop diet is 1000 calories only so I can still eat food so I went shopping for a lot of smart ones and lean cuisine meals and really making sure I'm not eating and drinking at the same time. How's everything going with you Joann and thanks for asking

1000 calories that's good, at least you don't have to do the protein shakes that everybody seems to find disgusting. But be careful on the smart ones and the Lean Cuisines just watched the sodium intake because the sodium can be kind of high on those meals.

I'm doing my voluntary liquids and proteins today just to see how well I get through a day. I started off with tea from Tim Hortons with equal in it and I had an Atkins strawberry shake which has 15 grams of protein and only one each of carbs and sugar and 160 calories. I'm also going to try the ensure high protein shake that has 25 grams of protein, so hopefully I can still tolerate the taste after the surgery . I hear a lot of people saying that their taste buds go a little haywire after surgery.

yeah I heard about the taste changing. I haven't tried any shakes yet in case I don't like something after surgery.

I actually really like the shakes. Hope my tastes don't change!!

Congrats! My surgery date is 4/14 too lol. Start liquid diet Monday yikes

I'm scheduled for April 21st. Could have done earlier. Darn tax season. Dreading the pre-op diet more than the surgery. Mine seems more restrictive than others I've seen.
