Just had my last real food for at least 2 weeks -- excited for surgery on Tues

[RazorbackSusan 17]

Just had dinner, it was yummy. Bye bye real food for now, lol. I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight and tomorrow. I'm an imsomniac, and I don't want to take my ambien this close to surgery time. I figure I'm going to have enough mind altering chemicals in my head. Anyway, I'm just really revved to go. Here's hoping it all goes smoothly, or that I handle it with equanimity if it doesn't.

Good morning and good luck, have you done any shake type diet before ?

[RazorbackSusan 17]

not before this week, and I've not had fun with it. I've switched to soy milk for a base from skim milk because of diarrhea, but I'm still having issues. When I called my NUT, she suggested the clear Isopure Protein drinks. I tried them, and they don't make me sick, but man, they taste bad. Anyway, I'm sure I'll do fine, or if I don't I'll have the community and my drs and NUTs to help.

I have really loved a recipe for a bananas foster Protein shake that I got from a book by the bariatricfoodie.com lady. It is so yummy, I just need my digestive system to settle down and just enjoy it, lol.

Yep the shakes will have that effect on most people I have found a cup of veggies or salad to be helpful.
