Jessnewtothis 3 Posted August 19, 2015 @@lkh1986 my pre-op isnt going well. my nerves have shot almost everything I have been trying to maintain the past month. I over indulge in some foods I am not sleeping well and I am literally making myself sick, causing an empty stomach, causing hunger, causing too my re-feuling causing upset stomach, and the cycle goes around and around. I went online to buy some Protein fruit drink packets and got so overwhelmed with the variety and companies to choose from that I completely shut down. I am leaving for holidays on Thursday and back on Tuesday. Tuesday will be the day I turn myself around. We are out camping in the bush for 5 days so I will be able to re-group myself and calm these nerves. Sorry to hear your struggling so much. There are a lot of options on what to buy. After reading lots of posts and being in some FB support groups I have kinda went with the majority and I ordered Unjury unflavored protein packets and PB2 powder. I ordered GENEPRO unflavored protein powered of of Amazon. I think I would like to try the nectar stuff but I am going to wait a bit. All these products are so expensive. I have also been using Premier Protein that you can get from Sams Club or Walmart. Its a much better deal at Sam's. Don't beat yourself up. Do what you can do and if you make a mistake, get back on track again as soon as possible. Hope you enjoy your holiday. Im going on a small get away the last weekend of August myself. Will be interesting camping/boating with a bunch of people and Im suppose to be only doing shakes and veggies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted August 21, 2015 Just wanted to say that for all who have chosen Dr Fernando Garcia, excellent choice.
