Topic: RE: pre-op diet protein to the rescue
Try the Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Naval mixed into orange flavored crytal light.  It's like drinking a cross between orange tang and a fresh peach.  It's very light so it doesn't sit heavy even if you drink it later at night.  Only 90 cal, 23 g protein and no carb.

Also the chcolate shake sold in Walmart by Body Fortress is good mixed with 1/2 cup 1% milk, 1/2 cup water, 3 sweetners,  and 5 ice cubes.  It's a great price at $14 and change. 

You can get some sugar free torani syrups to add to the chocolate shake; hazelnut and almond is really good.  Put vanilla syrup in the fuzzy naval and it gets closer to the organge julius taste.

Good luck.  My surgery is the 29th.

Topic: RE: Anyone have their surgery 9/1/09?
I know how you are feeling.  I had terrible gas for 3 days and it hurt so bad that I wanted to cry. I still have gas, but it doesn't hurt like it did. You might want to try the chewable gasx to relieve the gas and if you are not walking...start walking!..Walk..walk walk...it really helped me out.  I hope you feel better and your "child" will be gone for good....that sounded kind of weird...lol

Topic: RE: Dry Mouth
There were several people in our local support group that had this exact same complaint. The only thing that they have determined that was able to help some, was by keeping water with them at all times and taking small sips throughout the day (obviously not right after eating) and it was able to curb it some for them.

Sorry I have no other advice to offer!
