With all the warnings about Facebook lately I will just stick with this and one other forum.

What's happening with Facebook?

Does anyone know the calorie limit for the two weeks while doing the Protein Shakes? My surgeon wants me to have three per day, but I didn't ask my calorie limit. I would like to mix with unsweetened almond milk and add a small amount of natural Peanut Butter.< /p>

My first week is between 1100-1300 calories. My last week is 900-1000 calories. Then day before surgery is Clear Liquids only.

Thanks. I called my surgeon yesterday and left a message for her to call me. Hopefully when she does return the call I will post what she said. She wants me to lose 10% of my body weight, which is 23 pounds. I'm nervous about doing the shakes and losing the amount of weight she wants me to lose. I'm an addicted coffee drinker and still have not given up coffee. Help!!!

My dr has me on nothing but Protein Shakes the week before surgery and they add up to only 600 calories.

I am drinking my coffee black.

[finediva 979]

So you were not asked to give up coffee? I was told by the nutritionist to give it up because it causes dehydration. My doctor called. She wants me on the shakes only and to nibble on celery and carrots if I get hungry. My shakes add up to 450 cals. This is crazy! She did not give a calorie amount. She stated I would get what I needed from the shakes then my body would use the excess fat. So wish me luck. Coffee makes me happy. I don't want yo be a cranky b..ch to my 16 yr old son. It's enough that I suffer f rom iinsomnia AND have a teenager!

JULY 14 !!! Cant wait for the day. I am having my procedure in Mississippi. I am now on my 2nd day or 14 liquid diet. Oh the first day was terrible but I am feeling much better today.

I am July 14th too but in Buffalo NY! My liquid diet starts tomorrow.

I'm scheduled for July 29. I'm excited! I'm in California...would love to stay in touch with everyone...wonder if there's a way to create some sort of subgroup? I'll look into it a bit.

All the best,

Clara

Hi Clara! I have a July 29th date as well! I'd love to stay in touch. What part of CA are you in?

Hi I'm Jenna! I'm 18 and my surgery is being paid for by insurance. I start my 10 day liquid diet tomorrow on the 4th! And my surgery is scheduled for July 14. I have a team of doctors (nutritionist, exercise professional, nurse, PA, psychologist, and the surgeon) that have been helping me get to this point and that are going to help me out after. I have one last appointment with them July 8 and my appointment with the surgeons is July 11. I'm new on here and this is my first post I hope I'm doing this right baba.
