pre-op protein drinks

Please do post the protien recipe. I'm always looking for new ones! Thanks! HUGS Kimberly

Jennifer, I agree about the "behavior modification or habituation". I ordered a bunch of samples and have tried a few. I plan on starting them regularly tomorrow when I start my high protein pre-op diet. Maria....Pretty Chilly in Alaska today

I don't know if my dr. will tell me to do this or not, I won't find out until July 6th when I have all the pre-op and nutrition clas etc. As for the protein shakes I shouldn't have a problem drinking them, you get used to them when your on Atkins for years.

Hi Ladies, as far as me doing just liquids my doc say just eat light and definitly "NO" fried foods of any 3 days before the surgery, he puts us on liquids after the surgery for 2 weeks then small amounts of very soft foods, 2 oz. at the most and of course 64oz. water and 50 grms. protien a day Cheri ps also let me know about those protien shakes

Jennifer- I am on protein diet for two weeks then liquid three days prior. I know every doctor is different. Mine says that you will heal faster if they are having to push your liver all around to get to the surgery. So shrinking the liver is helpful for this. Linda

I'm having the lapband and my Dr requires a 1000 cal/day liquid diet for 2 weeks pre-op. He says it's to shrink the liver which sits on top of the stomach and that way he can get a better placement of the band. Steph

Hey, I live just down the street in McAllen. Who is your doctor? I'd be happy to stop in and visit after surgery. E-mail me. Good luck!
