I found ice really helps too, I added some instant Decaf to a chocolate shake blended it with ice and it was the best one yet. I have been playing around with extracts too. ..so far orange with the vanilla shake is pretty good and banana too. I will be having surgery in Thunder Bay, not sure which doctor there's 2 that switch off...will find out more info next Wednesday

I only have to be on the pre-op diet for 7 days before surgery. I can have 3 Protein shakes a day plus cottage cheese, applesauce, yogurt, sugarfree pudding and cream of wheat

Yes but I hate Protein shakes lol. I keep telling myself I'll only have to drink them for a few weeks pre & post op & it will all be worth it.

I got the call today that my date is set. I'm a ball of emotions fear hope happiness nervous. I dont know what I should expect after surgery besides what my doctors have told me. This is the first time I have found a group of people who are in the same boat as me. I am in Canada though I notice most here are American.

I'm on low carb for now and shakes for the final 5 days before surgery. I hope that I am well enough to go to my neighbours 6th birthday party on 9th April, even though I won't be able to eat anything.

3 weeks liquid pre op is tough!

I will probably do 7 days instead of 5 to ensure my liver in perfect condition.
