Hi Kelly, I am with Dr. Barker on Sept. 17th. I start the liquid diet on the 10th so I am right there with you. I have had a couple questions too about the pre- diet and am looking for ways to get through it! Are you at Forest Park or Doctors Hospital?

Hi there!!! I'll be at Doctor's Hospital. My insurance requires that I have my surgery at a Center of Excellence and Forest Park has not achieved that standing as of yet since it's so new.

I've found that I really like the Herbalife Protein drinks. My cousin is distributor and I love the recipes. They really are good...example "Butterfinger" taste like a butterfinger candy bar. I'll be happy to email you the recipes and give you her informaiton you are interested. My personal email is msgeorgestrait1@yahoo.com if you are interested. Yes I LOVE George Strait!!!

By doing the Herbalife this will definitely help me with my liquids and help satisfy me since I can add in the Meal Replacement powder and extra Protein. However, I know that I be sick of them before the week is out.

Where are you having your surgery?

Best of luck to you.

Hey! I am getting so close! I started my liquid diet yesterday! I am not hungry at all, because the Protein fills you up! But, it is the physical act of putting something in your mouth that is a bummer! I am excited to have found you on here sramos89!! I will be at Doctor's as well!

Hello!! I started my liquid diet on Tuesday and it's going ok. Having a Protein Shake in the morning, Water throughout the day with Soup for lunch and dinner. I've also had a smoothie Protein shake mid-afternoon. I've been working late this week to try and have everything done so it's been late when I leave the office. You are so right about it being the physical acto of putting something in your mouth.
