My surgery is July 16th and my Pcp is still against it, she things that weight watchers is the key. I have 3 different heart doctors, my Htn specialist did my paperwork with no problems he is all for it. My cardiologist was like I don't think so at first but after this last scare with my Heart rate in the 170's he was like sure! I haven't told my Pcp the news she will have to wait until post open and I am NOT ashamed because I'm trying move forward.

I'm starting day 7 today of pre op diet. I don't think that I have cheated and I say this because 3 of those days I would eat a small piece of baked chicken with my meal. The instructions stated 4 shakes and a lean cuisine meal less than 350 Cal. My meals only go to 270. I feel satisfied with what I have done so far and today is shopping day for more shakes. Today is last day before I go to all liquids.

So far so good, today will start day 7 of 12. Have not cheated but want some soup bad. Oh dang, I forgot to eat my lean cusine yesterday.

I would say yes because it would be considered part of a full liquid diet, as long as you strain the potatoes. That is exactly what I plan to do is make my own soups and strain them when I get to that stage.

I am not sure about this one because I was told to stay away from the Smoothy King. What I will say is that the Lean Body was recommended to me by my Nut actually everyone I hsave tried so far was on my can have list so. Good luck in your search for what is right for YOU!

Yes 3.49 and they are also sold by the case, they are premade.

from the Vitamin Shoppe

I have thought about the calories and after surgery getting one in a day should not be bad, it will be over half my Protein needed in a days time so I'm good with that. I just hope I lkie is after surgery as much as I like it know.

Oh Yeah is my second favorite, lol

Yes it is liquid!

Hi, I am not a vet, but I am in my 2 week pre op stage, 3 shakes and a lean cusine meal. I have to admit that for 2 days since startin on Sunday, I had some chicken that I roasted, I chalked it up to, I just eating my protein. The chicken is gone now, so I have been walking and keeping busy when the family is eating. I know its hard, for me next week will be all liquids. Just take one day at a time and come up with something that you can do when others are eating. Hang in there! What other things do you love to do?

I'm July sleeves, the 16th. I'm on day 5 of my prep diet, I happy that I found this site because last week I thought I was going to go crazy!

Wow 12, I cant get past the sip and smell from the mango flavor. Straight vodka, rum, and beer always ends up on someone else so I stopped trying, lol. I guess one sip at a time will have to do it for the Protein, unless I find something else. quickly!

I was told that I have to drink this water after my surgery. The stuff is HORRIBLE!!!! Did anyone else have the same experiences and if not is there a something different to drink after surgery while on the Clear Liquid Diet. My Surgery is 7/16, I am in my 2 week prepo phase and I have been purchasing things left and right, I do not want to waste anymore money. One other questions, any suggestions on protein powders the instant stuff is sooooo expensive! I talking about ones that taste good for the Full liquid diet. I just trying t be prepared but I think that I am over thinking it! (All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!!)

Hi, I started my liquid diet Sunday, today was ok, but missed the BBQ ribs, lol. The think that I have noticed is that my husband is eating things that he normally does not eat, that started day 1 and the tv commericals for food are HORRIBLE! I did not realize there where so many. When is your surgery date, mine is the 16th!

My date is July 16th and I have the same emotions, I joined this site today for support and so far its great.

Yes, I didn't think about like that. Thanks does the post!

When u mentioned early that you could drink Gatorade, I was like YES that is my favorite flavor and that Injury unflavored was going to be used for that and vitamin water. Will it couldn't taste as worst as the isupure. Btw how are you feeling?

OK I needed to hear that, hope hubby I'd good! That was great!

Thank you so much, I orderd Unjury unflavored yesterday, I will orger me some samples of the chicken broth!
