YES we can do this...my pre-op is just 5 days...got to start May 19th....Good luck to all of us...we will all do well I am sure.

On your 10 day diet what does that include...so many can have real food on their pre-op diet....ours is CLEAR liquid like juice, broth, Jello, and sherbert and Water and decaf tea and decaf coffee...that is it!

wow....your pre-op diet would be nice...I dont start mine for 2 more weeks..but for me we have 5 days of CLEAR LIQUID diet. not much on that list of things we can have for 5 days...LOL..but it will be sooo worth it when it is all said and done

The soups I am talking bout are protein shakes in a warm version...they are actually a medical grade protein too...Unjury is a brand. If you get a chance you might want to call your NUT....The Dr. I use prefers we use the Unjury brand because it is one of the "few" that are medical grade proteins....It is the only brand that our local hospitals use for any patients needing liquid protein for any reason...

I am hear for ya if you need to talk....The crystal sky reminded me of a medice I had as a child but It is palatable... I knew that I would not survive on chocolate and strawberry shakes...I have gotten the cheese and the chicken Soup from unjury...they are a warm version and very good...you can go out to unjury.com and buy them...The cheese one is a seasonal and they are on sale right now...as it will not be available this summer

Congrats to both of you..Monaramsdell....good to hear that you are getting back on track...I am sure it is easy to get off track Sherri...you will do just fine, follow everything, journal everything...your feelings your food....

I have not heard of it but would be intertested in more info.... I have a subligul and it is good

LOL....see there is one out there for everyone...For me I am not gonna do that one...but for others...it would be a life saver.

I am too...just at the beginning of my journey...I have my date of May24th...I am very excited...and soo thrilled that I found this forum to help with ideas and share thoughts and stuff. there were a couple non-food life changes we were talking bout in class the other day like our shoes being tied on top rather than the side....or some where theyr belt buckles to the side a bit as to not hurt the bellys and now can wear them in the middle again.... Wishing you luck along the way..I believe this forum is gonna be a great tool along the way.

U can mix some of the with milk...I used only water when I did all of them....but I dont think I would mix lemonade with milk...the the double stuff cookie would be good with milk...you can also mix them into crystal light as well...we discussed that in one of our classes.

very cool for ya...my Dr. only requires a 5 day clear liquid diet....but the 2 things that will be my saving grace are the sherbert and the jello that we can have...it is the couple of things of sustance we can have...major difference from what I have see others to be able to have on the 2 week diet...

o and on the the Nectar I like the double stuffed cookie and the lemon tea as well....LOL had that wrong a bit

By the way...sure hope you survived well to day would be day 2....good luck...and keep updating.

http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=nectar&Submit=Search check this link out....you get to pick the ones you want to try based on your likes....like one is a coconut one and I hate coconut so I didnt want to try it at all

The Nectar you can buy sample packs...I found a place that I bought like 11 packs for $15....I found that I love the roadside lemonaide...and I kinda like the cookies & creme too...I can tolerate some of the others...but will buy cookies and creme and lemonade on a regular basis...if I find the page I bought the samples on I will send you the link

have you tried any of the Nectar? I like the road side lemonade...it is real good..I drink them now just for the added protein...and I have tried...several different kinds.

how long are your pre-op diets? My Dr. requires only 5 day of clear liquids prior to surgery....My day it May 24th...so I will start mine on May 19th.

Hoping for a quick recovery for ya....I am scheduled in 24 days...and looking forward to it...
