PATs yesterday...

Well I survived my 5 hours of PATs yesterday and now I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.  It is finally starting to feel more real.  My surgeon does not require a 2 week liquid diet but 2 days before I have to go full liquids and the day before I go clear liquids.  All I need to wait for is good blood results because everything was okay.  I want to go out and get some proteins for post surgery but I don't know what kind I should buy.  Does anyone know what you are going to buy or what others say is really good?

Less than two weeks now till my surgery!!!!

I'm sure you're glad that is over.  Haven't heard from you in a while.
I see the NUT etc the day before surgery - so while you are in I will be having mine.
good luck and God bless and see you on the other side in 2 weeks.

Thanks for the congrats gals!  I keep reading my diet info again and again so that it will all soak in.  I honestly feel like I can't wait anymore!

Kelly are you going to have someone spend the night with you after surgery or is it still a close enough driving distance to go back and forth. 

My doctor recommend World Wide Pure Protein (35 g of Protein). I think they taste OK. Sort of like a shake if you have an imagination.  They have them at nutrition stores and also at Trader Joe's. I just bought Achiev one drinks.  I am waiting for them to get cold. Everyone on this site seems to think they taste like a bottled Starbucks. (20g of Protein).  No matter what you get everyone I have talked to has said make sure they are really cold or they will taste nasty.  I am doing the liquid diet right now with surgery on Nov 6 Th!

Good Luck to you,

Teri

I'm going to be using the chocolate whey protein that you can get from walmart. I haven't had it with water before, I use fat free milk and it doesn't take too bad. I don't see my surgeon until the 29th so I don't know when I'll have to start my liquid diet, but my surgery is on the 4th.
