Good luck on your upcoming surgery. Remember to walk about 30 minutes every day from now on. It will help the recovery go smoother and give you less pain. If you haven't already given up carbonated beverages and caffeine, do so now. You may experience a week of severe caffeine withdrawal syndrome (bad headaches, body aches) when you give up caffeine. You do not want to compound this with the effects of recovery from surgery.

My surgery is May 16th. I've learned so much reading on this board. The mindset, the realities about post surgery blues, the ups and downs. Menu ideas, etc. Each doctor is also so dang different!

Jump in and enjoy :) Knowledge is power ;)

I am also scheduled for RNY on 5/24/16. I have found a lot of helpful information on this site. I am on day 2 of my pre-op diet. I am getting very nervous for surgery, but I also can not wait to get it done. Good luck with everything.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
