Way to early to be slamming yourself - i say drink Water and any Protein - You goal is to flush out the toxic stuff and clear out your system

Soon you can get in a mixed routine see below - I am insane with the Vitamins and supplements but really has helped my journey

@Billy Bob I am drinking mostly Premier Protein and Muscle Milk shakes. Sometimes I’ll drink an Ensure Plus Max. I find the Muscle Milk shakes are thinner thus were easier to get down my first week. Any shake I drink is 30 grams of Protein per serving. I will also have 8-12 oz of diet cranberry juice with a scoop of nectar flavorless Protein Powder (to break up the monotony of the water). For Vitamins I’m taking the Bariatric Fusion chewable (orange creamsicle flavor) 2 vitamins, twice a day (no other vitamins). I’ll be curious to see what others are taking for vitamins. As an aside I’m two weeks post op today so I just started on purées.

You're sure they specifically said CLEAR liquid during the post-op 2 week diet? Would be the first I've heard of that. I know some do Clear Liquids pre-op.

Clear liquids is tough - RTD Protein Shakes are out so you'd have to do Syntrax Nectar or Protein Water.

I think you may be right. I am double checking. I may have misunderstood Clear VS Sugar -free ,low fat full liquid diet. Thanks. I would really like to have insure Protein Shakes first day home. Glad that I'm learning this now. 6 days to go. lol

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
