Try a little exercise before bed.

That sounds good. Already overthinking the post-op plan. Best of luck to you also.

Sounds good. Best of luck to you as well!

Just sitting here downing yet another protein shake. Yep living the dream! Surgery is on May 30th and with the exception of post-op I'm so glad I never have to do this again! Not that it's extremely difficult. It's also not easy but it's tolerable. I haven't cheated once and I have no intention of doing that. Just can't wait to be done with it! I had two weeks of protein shakes with one meal in the evening with guidelines of course then two weeks of just protein shakes until surgery. Some people have it easy on here with their pre-op diet mines been strict so like I said,"Living the dream!".

LARGENT is my all time favorite NFL PLAYER! Because he's from there went to college there & has always been a raiders fan. Love Beast Mode & hope he does well.

I still think you should go roller skating.

Uh oh! Pain meds must've been doing more than you thought. Just take it easy & don't over do it. Keep walking though. I'm not far behind.

Anybody on here care to give an update? I have surgery next week & this is not encouraging! I kind of wish I wouldn't have read it. I want to know if you're all able to eat the same meals as everybody else now just with much smaller portions? Perhaps kids meals or the kids menu?

I couldn't agree with you further! The Butler did do it!

Wow! Did they give you another date? Hopefully you can stay on the pre-op diet & do it in a week or so. Sorry to hear this it has been my biggest fear! Even more than having the surgery. All of the prep & pre-op diet then this happening. Health reasons or some insurance BS whatever the reason. They really are just looking out for you but that's extremely unfortunate this close to surgery. So sorry! Hang in there & hopefully this doesn't set you back for long.

Gas x strips do nothing for the gas from surgery. Walking is the only way.

Glad all is well but you never said what concert you were at?

Congrats! May 30th is my surgery as well. Best of luck to you!

Yeah sometimes I wish Bledsoe would've never gotten his ribs crunched & opened the door for Brady being a WSU football fan. Bledsoe led them all the way there & Brady got to finish then stole the job. And I enjoyed watching Tom Brady & the Pats early on but as of late I can't stand him/them. I enjoyed watching them win the Super Bowl in 2002, 2004, & 2005. I even bought a Super Bowl hat in 2005. The win against the SEAHAWKS in he Bowl was unpleasant but I started disliking them years before that.

lol

Don't call your surgeon call your Dietician. Like I've posted before SURGEONS SURGE DIETICIANS DIET!

May 30th here.

I'm scheduled for Surgery on May 30th & still worry about some BS insurance issue. If I downed all these shakes & for some reason they start chirping I'm going to flip out! Hopefully they just disappear long enough for most of your stomach to do the same. That's what I'm hoping for as well. Good luck!

Thank you kindly. Your almost there! It won't be long now.

You are lucky! I so hope I feel the same way after my surgery on May 30th.

Hello, Have you looked into Vegan/plant based protein?

First of all welcome! How long are you expected to drink protein shakes my doctor said he don't want me drinking liquid calories but I know you have to have them for a certain period after surgery. Second I have a lot of posts on here about the protein that I drink it is very healthy and nutritious and it's all made out of plants. Garden of life has the most nutrients and 50 plants superfoods.

I wouldn't be cheating on this I've been doing it for three weeks and I'm on my fourth week I haven't deviated once because I never want to do this again. If you are allowed carbs for example 15 grams of carbs Then measure out and use all 15 carbs. I had headaches and I was nauseous and I couldn't even drive because I was in carb withdrawal. I called my nutritionist and he said use all of your carbs. Some places are different but he told me I could blend in fruit as long as I was below my carb count. I'm allowed around 200 cal 15+ grams of protein I use 30 grams, & 15 g of carbs. I use 2 Scoops of each powder then I use fruit with in the carb range usually a cup and a half to 2 cups and mix it with water resources ice until I have enough to make two shakes that are 16 to 20 oz smoothies. So for two scoops of each and the fruit in the water or ice you get to full shakes. I drink one and then save one for later.So for two scoops of each and the fruit in the water or ice you get to full shakes. I drink one and then save one for later.
