Editing, is a real challenge here!!!

Welcome to LBT!!! Glad you come out of lurker mode!

Congrats on your surgery date--it will be here before you know it! Get all your things together, so you can take it easy for a few days when you get home. Have some liquid Protein items on hand, liquid Tylenol--heating pad---and your slippers---you will want to do lots of walking!

Hang out, so your last minute nerves can be reassured for you---most of us got them!

I look forward to hearing how it goes for you!!

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm really nervous, but excited at the same time. Kinda dread the pre op liquid diet. I'm so affraid of failing yet again.

Have you already started the liquid diet?

[Jalee 0]

No, I start on the 18th. I have had trouble finding a Protein shake I like.

Congrats on the date, I am December 31. My doctor requires 1000 calories a day, 35g fat, 55g Protein, liquid diet. Try the Slim fast cans, 10g protein, 140 calories. You can mix those in everyday. I start the liquid on December 17, my doc calls for two weeks.

:clap2:Congratulations Jalee. I just found out this week that my insurance approved the surgery. I go for pre-op next week and dr. visit. I start my liquid diet after that. I don't have a date yet but should know next week. I bought the GNC mix berry Protein, why drink. It's not bad. I have been trying to get used to it. I like it with ice in it. I hope that's ok. I look each time I shop for something I think I can have on the pre-op diet. Good luck to you. Felicia

for my pre-op diet, I drank Glucerna (due to diabetes) and to tell you the truth, it was pretty good. I've used both the chocolate and the Butter Pecan. The butter pecan actually tastes like ice cream.
