JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted December 20, 2014 Breathe. Then call your NUT and ask for specifics. Stock your house with delicious cream Soups and liquids you are allowed. Clean the house. You won't want to deal with vacuuming post op. Take the time to write your post op self a letter now. Open it in a year. Write all the feelings you're having and why you're doing this. Write down every thing you want to do once you lose weight that you aren't able to do now. Most of all be be gentle with yourself. You've worked hard to get here and you deserve all the happiness that is coming your way. Stay connected here. Good luck!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSRS520 75 Posted December 20, 2014 Any ideas on Protein Shakes? Brand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted December 20, 2014 I like U njury chocolate. I order it online and also buy the single serving packets for travel and work. As for clear Liquid Protein for pre op diet I used Isopure but I didn't like any of them. Ensure makes a clear that's slightly better tasting but Isopure had the most Protein.

catlover602 85 Posted December 20, 2014 Hi. I'm in AZ too. I didn't go through your surgeon, I went through True results in Scottsdale. I have read and learned so much from your doctor's web sites. Just read, read, and read. I personally like premier Protein shakes. I pick them up at costco or sam's club. The hardest part for me was the 2 week pre op diet. I don't know how I did it... but I did lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks. Good luck on your journey. I am still learning. I have had 5 fills so far... Just follow the rules as best as you can. Best wishes!
