[Lisha73 97]

LOL....see there is one out there for everyone...For me I am not gonna do that one...but for others...it would be a life saver.

Thank you Lisha73! I did survive, barely...lol. I tried to get my fourth in but couldn't make it all the way through. I drank the rest when I got up today. I went and bought some nectar in Crystal Sky. I'm hoping it will help break up the monotony of chocolate shakes. I just so want to actually EAT something, ya know? I am so emotional right now and I'm hoping its just my body trying to get used to this.

I am hear for ya if you need to talk....The crystal sky reminded me of a medice I had as a child but It is palatable...

I knew that I would not survive on chocolate and strawberry shakes...I have gotten the cheese and the chicken Soup from unjury...they are a warm version and very good...you can go out to unjury.com and buy them...The cheese one is a seasonal and they are on sale right now...as it will not be available this summer

Thank you again Lisha73! i can only have Protein shakes...the only Soup i can have is Optifast and it isn't sold anywhere here and it isn't sold on their website...too expensive on ebay and Amazon so i'll just stick to the shakes lol

[Lisha73 97]

The Soups I am talking bout are Protein Shakes in a warm version...they are actually a medical grade Protein too...Unjury is a brand. If you get a chance you might want to call your NUT....The Dr. I use prefers we use the Unjury brand because it is one of the "few" that are medical grade proteins....It is the only brand that our local hospitals use for any patients needing Liquid Protein for any reason...

how long are your pre-op diets? My Dr. requires only 5 day of Clear liquids prior to surgery....My day it May 24th...so I will start mine on May 19th.

Mine is 10 days but i don't have my date yet my surgeon already told me its gonna be 10 tho

On your 10 day diet what does that include...so many can have real food on their pre-op diet....ours is CLEAR liquid like juice, broth, Jello, and sherbert and Water and Decaf tea and decaf coffee...that is it!

I am glad that all I have to do is a week of the pre-op diet.. First two days were easy day three was tough. Now I'm on day four and I'm handling it a lot better. Surgery for me and my wife is May 6, we are almost there. It's easier when you have someone to lean on. I hope and pray that it is worth it. I've lost 10lbs so far on the liquid Protein diet.
