I am getting banded on the 9th of dec (wednesday) and i am going to start back with the pre op in the morning (monday). I hope these 3days i got off track dont affect my surgery.

If you want variation of flavors go to the store and buy some Protein shake mixes, yogurt and fruit juice to mix/blend with or over ice.

You can always do sugar free carnation instant Breakfast with skim milk, or boost/ensure glucose versions.

It's really very easy to do the diet (on mine now) just create some flavors you like. Are you able to have food as well or just shakes and broth?

Let me know and I can give you some ideas.. Also there's some shake recipes in my blog.

Hey good luck! I actually start my pre-op diet on the day of my first and only final - I'm hoping I won't be starving! I can actually have some food so I'm thinking I'll have that meal during the day before the final instead of for dinner.< /p>

Good luck!!

Ladons- my dr told me that 1 bad meal could mess up the whole diet b/c the reason for doing it is to shrink the liver. I dont know what you have been eating but you should probably try to stick with it.

I can have shakes and broth, and sugar free Jello and pudding. No food. I think I am going to be able to do it! I have enough will power!
