Deweydoer 111 Posted July 26, 2013 stephwellman, are you freaking out a little about the soft diet before your surgery? I'm hoping I don't screw it up, eating according to a prescribed menu has not been my strong suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephwellman 131 Posted July 26, 2013 Yes I was totally freaking but once your stomach and mind get on the right level with each other you'll do fine I'm on day 11 of a 28 day diet and it's all smooth sailing SO FAR.... At least till Monday when I'm on total liquids for 2 weeks on the plus side I've lost 4 pounds since I've started! 4 angemc, Ada81, sweets27 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to know what kind of Protein shakes u all are drinking to keep you full[/quote'] I like the Premier Protein they are pretty good! I was getting them from Walmart (4 in a pack $6) but now get them from SAMs Club (12 per box $16.99) I have tried both the powder and the pre made. I take the pre made and a cup of frozen fruit and put it in my bullet blender and its yummy! I hope when I get to my pre op diet I can continue adding the fruit! 1 Deweydoer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
