This has been so helpful! I am so grateful for this board! Thanks all!

I love Gladiator protein drinks! I buy the big tub. My NUT says I should use only one scoop and mix with milk. That makes it 22.5 g protein per serving. Not sure why she wouldn't want me to go ahead and get the full 45g in one sitting??

I really appreciated this post! I am starting my pre-op liquid diet early because I can't be trusted to eat anymore. (I've been on a food bender with "last meal" syndrome!). When was your surgery?? I want to start looking forward to when I will be "feeling great!" CONGRATULATIONS! I hope it keeps feeling great!

Hi all! I am scheduled for Aug. 22 and supposed to start my pre-op diet on Aug. 15. I am having to start early because I CANNOT QUIT EATING! It is like some emotional melt down. And, for me, once I start with sugar, I go nuts. Every day I tell myself that I'm going to do better tomorrow, but then I don't. So.... something's gotta give. Even though I'm 3 weeks out, I'm thinking about going to liquid now (4 Protein shakes/day) to prevent me from putting on another 10 (or 15!) lbs over the next 3 weeks! Good luck to all!

Thanks to all who replied. I appreciate the suggestions. I also appreciated those who "know what I mean" and are feeling the same way. I have decided to go ahead and start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Even though I am 3 weeks out, I am so tired of the insanity. I figure this will be a good way to prepare myself. I don't know about you guys, but I am SO looking forward to not thinking about (and obsessing about) food all the time. It is a change that I know will be difficult but will be SO worth it! Love to all!
