Don't know if you have your Protein shakes yet but powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken flavor protien powder is great. www.unjury.com

Also I lived on sugar free Ice pops. In all honesty I hated the pre-op diet. Keep telling yourself that you are almost there. Each day is one day closer to your surgery.

My words of wisdom to you are. Remember you are in this for yourself. Don't listen to any negative things that people might say to you. I was banded on Oct 23 and I feel awesome. My pain is all gone now. I have more energy already. I've lost 20 lbs since my surgery. 30 lbs all together with the pre-op diet. You will do great. Don't be afraid to use your pain medication as needed. Be sure to walk as much as you possibly can to help with the gas and to prevent blood clots.

Good luck to you and if you have any question don't hesitate to ask. I'm no where near being an expert but I did do the surgery part. :thumbup:
