Hi all I have been on Protein Shakes since 12-19 but my doctor has me on 3 shakes 2 apples and a salad with grilled chicken and sugar free dressing daily down 7 pounds my stomach does get upset and what adds to it is when I had the endoscopic I had a stomach infection who knew so he put me on prepak which is 2 biaxin, 4 amoxicillin and 2 Prevacid kills my stomach . Pre surgical testing 1-3 then the count down till the 9th . My doctor wanted me to lose between 12 and 15 pounds before surgery I am sure I will do it this will be a great year for us.

Hi ladies,

This is my first post, but I'm having my surgery on January 8th! So good to "meet" others on the same schedule. I am on day 6 of the liquid diet and I don't think I've lost anything yet! The only thing I cheated with was a little orange two days running, but I think that's ok to eat. Had my pre- surgical testing done today and there is nothing left but to count down the days! Glad the headaches went away. My New Years Eve is ruined this year, but that's ok because next year I'm making my husband take me out because I will get to wear a sexy dress!!

Good luck on your surgery. I found out so much great Info on the site.

So I survived my surgery, and the three days of nausea in the hospital (yuk) and now I am almost two weeks out trying to keep down food. It's proving difficult.
