Wow you all had it rough I am on 2 shakes and one meal and 2 snacks if needed and only for 1 week before surgery , I was hating life until i saw how long you all have to go with out solid foods. I have been practicing the above for months though, surgery is on 10-17-17 and then its 2 1/2 weeks of liquids. Wish you all the best of luck and keep your focus on the end goal!
