    How long is your pre liquid diet ? I start mine Sept 22nd. We should keep each other updates after surgery...

    We should! I have my pre-op appointment on sept 19th. I'm also starting in the 22nd! I've started testing and trying to find some broths and Protein powder and shakes that I like. So far the only thing I know for sure is that I HATE the GNC lean shakes; they like make me nauseous and the one I love with is Orgain is not going to have enough protein it only has 21g per 8 oz serving lol!! How about you ??

    @@eye1der I'm telling my office I'm having surgery but for either my gallbladder or hiatal hernia, that way I'm not lying and don't have to make up crazy stories about a vacation that didn't really happen but also keep the real reason to myself. I have 1 coworker I told, I trust her to keep it quiet and we are good friends but I'm going to have her help me keep it under wraps. Like back up my "I'm on a diet" story for the next couple of weeks leading up to the procedure so then when I come back a few pounds down its not so shocking.

    I'm glad to have found some other October sleevers!!

    I finally provided my surgery date to my supervisor. I did state it was medically necessary surgery regarding my digestive track. I have my FMLA forms. I am still keeping the type of surgery to myself. I feel like if I tell them the type of surgery it will get around and i don't want people to pass judgement. Its sad that I feel like I am doing something "bad" and that I will face unwanted ridicule or people staring if I share my what I am doing. I want to keep the joy to myself during such a positive time in my life. I wish I would have thought of hernia or gallbladder or read your post a few hours earlier. Thank you for your post. I am glad I am not alone when i comes to the work world.

    I actually found Isopure at the Vitamin Shoppe it's like a Gatorade consistency. It has 40g of protein in one bottle. So I got the grape... It actually taste pretty good. So I added some Water to it to make it last longer and some mio grape drops taste like coolaid. I got icepop molds also I'm going to make my own popsicles out of the protein. I have a bunch of different Soups and yogurt shakes, cottage cheese is allowed on my liquid diet so I'll be using that as well.

    I did buy some shakes to change it up a bit. The eas strawberry Protein Shakes are good.
