Oh my. Ive just begun Hell week today. I know I will make it threw. So far so good.:tongue_smilie:

I"m on my pre-op diet as well but mine is for 14 days! GROSS! I started today... i tried the strawberry Protein shake! too gross.. i wanted to barf! i don't know how i'm gonna get through this! i'm getting a hungry headache! blah!

Good luck on your diet!

We will make it. I kinda messed up and didnt bring my protein drink to work with me and I work twelve hours today so im pretty light headed as well.:tongue_smilie:

Im with you both but mine is 14 days also. Im getting a headache now too! Great! Im struggling and debating so many ideas!!! Lapband is the answer everytime!!!

If you're not on any specific protein shake and are looking for one that tastes great! Try Jay Robb, they are low in calories, fat and carbs but high in protein. www.jayrobb.com! They taste fantastic! I use them with some psyllium husk powder which keeps your regular. I PROMISE this will be work your struggles. Short term struggles for a LONG TERM gain!! :thumbdown: Good luck to all of you!! :thumbdown: :tongue_smilie:

Im on Optifast!!! $234! And tastes gross - Im just complaining!!!

Im drinking the whey protein but the only thing is that my surgeon doesnt want me to mix it with anything but water. No soy milk or juice. GROSS.

jay robb is a whey protein. it comes in chocolate, pina colada, tropical dreamscicle, vanilla, and unflavored.

OMG...this is day one and my tummy is making all sorts of noises. This is truly "hell week"but I guess no pain no gain.

I have surgery 7/31 and I start my pre-op diet on the 17th. I wanted to get a head start but my doctor did not suggest a protein drink, only for me to cut my carbs and a list of food to have and some in moderation. Should I try the protein drinks instead to help me shrink my liver?
