So close now... hope you've been feeling better this weekend and you're all set for tomorrow! 

We're here for you, to answer questions, offer support and encouragement!


P.S. You might want to fix your profile... you marked that your surgery type is the VGB, not the VSG, which is why I asked.

Hi Mitzi!

I am feeling better and super excited.  I just did my final weight in before surgery.  Down 10 pounds since last Thursday. 

I will fix my profile, thanks for pointing that out.

I do have a question. I am on clear liquids today to prepare for tomorrow.  Does this mean no protein shakes?  I've put in a call to my nutritionist and waiting for her to call back.

According to my surgeon and nutritionist  - the clear liquid stage does include protein shakes made with water, not milk. 

Best to go by your surgeon/nutritionist dietary guidelines though. But I doubt you're gonna hurt anything by having your protein shakes and it will keep you from starving!
