Drink 2-3 oz of Protein at the top of each hour. Sip 3 oz of liquid each 15 minutes of the hour. Repeat. If you are awake for 14 hours, the net will be around 28-42 oz of protein and 126 oz of liquids. If you break it up like this it is easy to get it all in. Always have a Water bottle with you. You may not get any prescribed number of calories in, but you will get the protein and liquids which are most important during this healing phase. Worry about total calories when you start adding in solid food.

I had no pre-op diet at all, but call in to be sure. Better to check than be cancelled.

Lap Banders make a resolution for life! Not just year.

Princess is a poet... she just did not write this one!

Be sure to add in the protein powder. Nessa... Are you for real?

Give it a try and let us know how you make out. I would say no.

Count your blessing! Keep up the good work!

Guys, this is just the beginning, if you fight it now it does not bode well for the post op diet! Just saying! Get a grip, and find some want power and commitment!
