I've been adding SF Jello powder to creamy vanilla-you only need a teaspoon and you can change your flavors up to the flavors of jello you like.

Went yesterday for my surgical clearance from my PMD, then to the exercise and nutrition class. They are telling me it will be 4 weeks after surgery that I get my exercise clearance??? I am going to the gym 3 days a week now-I think I will do what my body says. Having said that off to the gym. BBL

Stephanie, I know that it is still just Protein shakes, but I have been adding some of the SF Jello powder to my shakes for some different flavors. There is also this great website that I found called "theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com" Shelly that runs the blog was a size 28 now a size 4 and she loves to cook. There are so many ideas there for every phase of our journey. Best of luck-I have my ice cream maker in the freezer now to make some Protein ice cream. YUM!!!

rosie, They may have had to give you additional fluids in the OR during your surgery. I know that my blood pressure drops alot with anesthesia, so I am anticipating a weight gain when I have my surgery in 10 days. Best of luck to you!!

:bananajump: Good Morning MARCHing Bandsters!! Newday, no more mishaps with slipping on the liquid pre=op diet, Off to the gym once thekids are on the school bus. The beginning of my new life awaits!! I hope everyone is doing well.

That is so awesome to hear-they offer Zumba at the Curves that I go to but I have not tried it yet-guess I should look to see when it is offered again

Get the leftovers out of the house from my son's BDay. I do not believe that bbqchicken wings are on the liquid pre-op diet-I better start drinking more water to flush it all out. I know that I can do this-one day, or even one meal at a time. The chicken wings are behind me and I must move forward and not punish myself for the slipup. . Send me some extra stength please.

Best of Luck Ruben!! My vote has been cast. Even if you do not win-continue to pursue your dreams.

Made waffles, bacon, sausage and juice for the 5 boys that stayed over last night. Now for the clean up and some protein drinks for me!! Making all of that now I am hungry-better get the blender out in a hurry!!

:tea: Hi everyone-I am on my pre-op Liver Reduction diet and was looking for ways to "spice up" the protein drinks. People have suggested adding SF Syrups to their drink-but they are expensive. But have I found a DEAL-if you have a Dollar Tree near you-go visit-they have SF Syrups in the food isle in Vanilla, Hazelnut and Carmel!!! A 12.7 oz bottle for a buck!!! Good luck to all on their journey!!

My DH is doing the pre-op diet with me!!!! He is the best-hope all is going well with everyone today. My son is having a sleepover tonight for his BDay with 5 other 8 and 9 year olds. Give me strength to stick to this with 7 boys in the house for the party.

Off to my pre-op testing appointment, protein drink and water in hand!!

Just checking in with everyone-hope all is well. I am hoping that I am still just recovering from the flu (although a DF of mine is teasing me that I am pregnant!!!!!-don't even want to go there) that nothing tastes good and I have an upset stomach-I think the nerves are kicking in already. Best of luck to those having surgery today!! Off to the gym-that may help with everything. bbl

Silly me I am in "last supper" mode right now. We are having a nice dinner tonight (everyone is going to be home) and I start my pre-op diet on Thurs. I think it is something we all exhibit in some form or another. good luck

Sorry that I have missed the last few days of sending everyone their pre-op well wishes, but I have had the flu (uuugh) So I started my pre-op diet a few days early???!!!??? What am I thinking-everything is making me quesy. Just soup and tea today. Guess it can't hurt. Best of luck to all those being banded this week.

My thoughts and prayers are with the two of you and all the other bandsters tomarrow.

Sending prayers and positive energy your way-and to all those banded today!!! Only my DH knows too - none of the rest of my family. God Bless!!

So great to hear - I am not sure when my doctor will let me go back to the gym after my surg. I am used to going 3x perweek and really don't want to give it up for long. Best wishes for your continued success

Welcome to the group of MARCHing Bandsters. I too am scheduled for the 31st!!! Best of Luck!!!

Keep up the good work!!
