hi...I am now into my day 12 of the liquid pre-op..my surgery is this thurs June 9th.. It has not been so bad at all... for Protein drinks - I have been drinking muscle milk light and unjury products- pretty good.. also Isopure fruit punch has 15 grams of protein - as well as Gelatin 20 - a high protein sf Jello I have one salad a day - and heat up Spicy V** as Soup...

Hello... I am two days away from my surgery - Have a Lap band done at NYU with Dr Kurin- looking forward to connecting with - NYU banders and NY /NJ folks. I have been on the pre-op liquid diet for 13 days so far - and it has been ok...Have lost 12 lbs already... I am drinking lots of Protein shakes - some are better then others- i love the unjury products... Don't love all this chemical sugar substitutes - they leave an after taste- wish there was a better alternative - Drinling lots of Water with lemon and cuke- lots of jello- doing ok .. I turned 50 this year and did not want to be heavy any more !!! so my journey begins... Looking forward to making new friends... Helene
