Does anyone know the calorie limit for the two weeks while doing the Protein Shakes? My surgeon wants me to have three per day, but I didn't ask my calorie limit. I would like to mix with unsweetened almond milk and add a small amount of natural Peanut Butter.< /p>

My first week is between 1100-1300 calories. My last week is 900-1000 calories. Then day before surgery is Clear Liquids only.

Thanks. I called my surgeon yesterday and left a message for her to call me. Hopefully when she does return the call I will post what she said. She wants me to lose 10% of my body weight, which is 23 pounds. I'm nervous about doing the shakes and losing the amount of weight she wants me to lose. I'm an addicted coffee drinker and still have not given up coffee. Help!!!

My dr has me on nothing but Protein Shakes the week before surgery and they add up to only 600 calories.

So you were not asked to give up coffee? I was told by the nutritionist to give it up because it causes dehydration. My doctor called. She wants me on the shakes only and to nibble on celery and carrots if I get hungry. My shakes add up to 450 cals. This is crazy! She did not give a calorie amount. She stated I would get what I needed from the shakes then my body would use the excess fat. So wish me luck. Coffee makes me happy. I don't want yo be a cranky b..ch to my 16 yr old son. It's enough that I suffer f rom iinsomnia AND have a teenager!

I'm scheduled for July 29. I'm excited! I'm in California...would love to stay in touch with everyone...wonder if there's a way to create some sort of subgroup? I'll look into it a bit.

All the best,

Clara

Hi Clara! I have a July 29th date as well! I'd love to stay in touch. What part of CA are you in?

Hi I'm Jenna! I'm 18 and my surgery is being paid for by insurance. I start my 10 day liquid diet tomorrow on the 4th! And my surgery is scheduled for July 14. I have a team of doctors (nutritionist, exercise professional, nurse, PA, psychologist, and the surgeon) that have been helping me get to this point and that are going to help me out after. I have one last appointment with them July 8 and my appointment with the surgeons is July 11. I'm new on here and this is my first post I hope I'm doing this right baba.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
