It’s going! Lol Day 4 down. It’s mentally challenging more than anything. With all of the Protein Shakes I can’t say I’m overly hungry or anything but I do miss chewing. Jello and chewing ice pops have been helping a little with that.

Today was a little challenging because I cooked dinner for my family. The first 3 days my husband took over and I avoided being in the room with them while they ate lol

I was getting a little sick of the Premier Protein shakes after 3 days so I switched it up today and had the fairlife shakes. They’re really good! Also liking Gatorade Zero. 17 days to go!

I know it has to be hard especially when you're preparing good for you family. Hang it there your surgery will be here before you know it! I heard the premier clear Protein Water is good, might be worth a try? We don't have much time left!! I can't believe in 16 days we will be getting our surgeries done! We are almost there you got this!!

Yes! We’ve got this!! 💪🏻 The time is actually flying. I have to pick up some of the Protein Water to try.

Day 6/21 of liquids today and proud of myself for sticking to it.

Hi I could use a buddy too. My surgery for sg is scheduled 4/5. Excited and nervous! My doc office has not been the best at relaying all the info and I am a little overwhelmed at all of the appts. I was told to start a liquid diet 3/29 but I can only have 1 Protein Shake per day. I think that scares me more than anything . Looking for any friends who can offer any help at all!

I’m scheduled for April 12th. Good luck!!

@ranger1269
I know all of the appts have been so overwhelming, we are almost there!

I would confirm the pre-op liquid diet plan with your doctors office. Did you have to see a nutritionist? I know every plan is different, but mine has me doing 6 Protein Shakes a day. I couldn’t imagine getting through this on only one per day 😱

[Ranger1269 2]

Hi, @enamio18! I did see a nutritionist for 6 mos. I just got the email from my doc yesterday and it shows 1 shake. Boo.
I am going to do my best, but I did buy a few extra in case I am dying.

I might only be on week 2 now but my nutritionist told me 12 oz of Protein Shake so drink a 1 of them in a day
