Ok I have to ask you that are hungry what are you eating? have you started a routine for Breakfast, lunch and supper yet? I'm not sure if we are allowed to mention name brand items on here. But I have a Protein Drink with 25g of Protein in it, 3 times a day and I also have 1/2C sf Jello and 2 cups of chicken broth a day and I'm doing fine. I also have figured out what time I get up and try to eat every 4-6 hours around the same time every day and I'm staying satisfied. First thing you have to get your body trained for a schedule.

I think you are right about the schedule. I need to time it out instead of waiting til I get hungry. But the only thing that seems to keep me full is sipping on these Protein Drinks throughout the ENTIRE day. I don't stay full for more than 2 hours tops on these drinks. At first I thought it was mental, but I literally felt like I was going to pass out this afternoon.

All of my drinks have 30-40g of protein in them and my doctor said I should be having 70g a day.. so I should be getting in enough protein since I am having a minimum of 3 a day. i also have at least 1 cup of jello and 1 bowl of broth.

I am really confused.

Are you getting enough Water? If you feel like you want to pass out I just wondering if you are getting all of your water in. I drink crystal light and if you see me I always have a glass with water or cyrstal light in it. My dr told me to check my urine from time to time. And if my urine is as dark yellow as it is in the morning than I'm not drinking enough water. Watch tomorrow and keep a glass close by all the time.

My nutritionist never mentioned water... I'm only having a couple of glasses a day so I think I definitely need to be drinking more. How much are you having every day?

I can't believe she never told you about Water. It is very important. You need to be getting 64oz of water a day. Try the water tomorrow and let me know how you feel at the end of the day.

Hi everyone.

Surgery is tomorrow. Yikes! I am excited to add years to my life for my family.

My husband is proud of me so we are planning to get our diving certs. Next year I will be on a beach somewhere enjoying the sun (without a drink).

As far as bc it is because bc can cause clots. With surgery there is an added risk of clots without bc. I had to stop my daily aspirin (and I clot too much). They want you somewhere in the middle.

Went and met with one of the surgeons today, he was reaaally nice, and a lot more friendly than the other one. He gave me a prescription for Percocet today...way to make me 10x more nervous!

Last time I weighed in with my nutritionist I was 312.6, I'm down to 307, gotta love this pre op diet.

Speaking of being down, the last time I went through this the surgeon asked me to lose 10 lbs, today NONE! this is good. Go us May Bandees!

P.S. May 11th date here

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way! Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about your experience as soon as you feel up to it!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
