May 2nd date

Well, Off to the races... Got my date May 2nd, Started my Pre-op liquid diet yesterday. I must say, I'm not too thrilled with it ...lol taking my vitamins, and getting in around 60g of protein yesterday and today, but both days I get rather scatterbrained by about 1 - 2 pm and cant focus. I can tollerate the slimfast, myoplex lite, and the new whey shooters, orange and fruit punch... but its tough in the afternoon. Going for my pre surgery tests tomorrow morning. joy joy joy !!!

Congratulations!!!!! You will make it through the 2 weeks....

Hang tough, John! You might need to get a little more sleep while your body adjusts, more exercise or both. I did Body For Life a while back and some of those Myoplex flavors were pretty good. We used to mix them in a blender with crushed ice and they made a pretty thick shake. I won't mind going back to those. Haven't tried the SlimFast yet. -- T.Rob

John............... I am a May 2nd, also...............for a VSG in MX. I am also on the liquids............ Fun, huh?? My MD allows non fat yougurt, also. Try that as a pick me up, and also, I would think you could have a diet soda before surgery............... I love Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Rite's White Grape. They always give me a boost. Keep your spirits up.................. our day is coming!! WOO HOO!! Karen
