OCTOBER 15th!

My surgery date is coming up in a couple of weeks. I was just wondering has anybody tried or heard anything about vitamin water or protein water after surgery. I am trying to stock up on supplements now!! Would love to get some feedback especially for 5 day liquid diet coming up next week. Thanks :)

After surgery, I can have both of those. I think for my liquid diet I can, too, but I can only have one protein drink per day. After surgery, our rule of thumb is if it has more than 15 g of carbs in it, don't drink it. Last night at our support group meeting, there was a lady there who was drinking Life Water. A lot of post ops that I know try to stick to zero carb drinks. Only 11 days and some hours left!!!!

Hi Brandi! My surgery is on the 15th too! We'll be going through this at the same time and I have to tell ya...i'm a bundle of nerves at this point. BUT..the doc has not put me on a 5 day liquid diet....yet. I have to see him for pre-op on the 9th. He may decide to tell me to at that time? Who knows? Anyway, I wanted to wish you well for your surgery!

Thanks Carolyn! My pre-op day is the 9th too! I've heard many people tell me they do not have to do the liquid diet too. I unfortunately have to do a colon cleanse also. YUK! Oh well, less weight to lose after surgery right (whatever I can tell myself). Good Luck to you! Cant wait to see before and after pictures!

I am also having surgery on the 15th. I do not have to do a liquid diet, only the day before. I generally drink water or milk so I haven't really looked into other types of drinks, but not eating I worry that I may start craving some flavor instead of jus****er. I need to go stok up on some options I guess! Jen

Hi all, My date is set for Oct 15 also. I like water but not flavored water. Also I was checking and most protein drinks have a lot of sugar in them so I guess I am stuck to buying the powder whey protein drink. Good luck to all! Sandy
