I'm psyching myself up for it.    I'm hoping to do Slimfast LowCarb instead of the Bariatric Advantage powdered protein---bleck!

I am starting the HMR diet tomorrow which will be exactly two weeks before my surgery date.  I have already tasted it and it is not bad.  Too bad it does not qualify for the protein shakes after surgery. that is what I am worried about.  It seems like everyone is unanimous on how awful they taste!  LOL!!

Max Protein is the best I've found so far.  I bought chocolate and vanilla for after surgery and it isn't bad at all--- no nasty after taste.  Plus, I bought a bottle of sugar free Hershey syrup to doctor it up a bit.  I think getting it really cold helps a lot too.  I mix mine in a blender bottle then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes or so.

I will be on FULL LIQUIDS six days before, CLEAR LIQUIDS the day before and the first week after; then FULL LIQUIDS again.  Still trying to find the right Protein for me.  :)

Remember - if you look at it as eating for healing, you won't do anything wrong....because you have the common sense to NOT eat what might make you feel worse or hurt.  ANd if you/we do something wrong, I presume, we will end up vomiting.  :)  LOL

OK! Thank you for saying it, I also am feeling these feeling too. My surgery date is set for July 27th and I am getting cold sweats at night about it. Having a hard time concentrating. I have been researching everything. I'm glad to see that I am not alone in the way i feel.....
