Hi Courtney, I'm with you! My surgery date is 11/5 and I'm using these weeks to get off whatever I can in advance. My official pre-op liquid diet will only be two weeks, but I figure whatever I can do in advance will put me in such a better position later. I'm doing some cleansing, drinking Protein Shakes -- have removed sugar, dairy and wheat from my diet. Will do some juice fast days. Also upping the exercise -- I figure that will be good for later. Do you have your surgery date yet?

I hate to say it, but you need to find a Protein Shake you can tolerate or it will be hard for you to get your min requirement...especially during preop and immediate postoperative.

I did 3 weeks of liquid diet.

It was great. I just wish there were more flavors.

I am 3 days post op. on Clear liquids. Looking forward

To 4 more weeks of Protein shakes.

I am on new direction shakes. My dr also said Protein powders from GNC were good. I have that too. I like them both.

You need to find a shake you can live with.
