Vicki - I'll let you know how it goes. Today is day 3 of the pre-op. So far so good. I even go to lunch with my sister every day and watch her eat yumminess. I will be happy when surgery is done and the liquid part of this is done. I don't want to get so sick of Protein Shakes that I can't drink them later. I think they will be a part of my regular diet from here on out. I have read about some flavored Protein waters. Not as much protein as Premier but definitely a better option than not getting enough protein each day.

Yesterday, I had two shakes, two Soups and some SF Jello. That's 69 grams of protein and 25 net carbs. Only 670 calories though. My goal is three shakes today. I am going with my sister to a WLS seminar for her. Her insurance covers WLS. She has talked about going to Dr. Illan but her husband isn't supportive of that. It's going to be a long process to go through our local center.

I am glad it is going well so far! I have read about some of the Protein waters too..not sure how they will taste? But, am going to try some! I might pick some up on my costco run this weekend. I will let you know if I try any! That's nice you will get additional information with your sister too. [emoji4][emoji106]

Shanny, when are you being sleeved? And I usually have a Water with me always too! No more straws though. [emoji6] I hope your pcp will do the proper follow-up for you!

My surgeon allows us to use straws as long as we arent sucking kn too much air and it causes us to feel uncomfortable.
