  Well gang today was day one of the preop diet for my wls on the 26th.  If the rest of them are like today then I will make out fine.  I found some shakes at target that taste rather good one of them is Atkins shakes.  They real fill me up and I only was able to get two down today.  they have 1 gram of sugar and 121 grams of protien not sure how much i should be getting but will figure that out.  Got my vitimins in too no problem.
I opted for the plan B that allows one small meal aday and tonight made stir fry chicken with brocolli and mushrooms.  It was Good.  

Will keep y'all up dated

ciao

Good for you! Which shakes are you drinking? The Atkins I have seen had 15 gms of protein, 121 seems like a LOT.

Most surgeons I have seen mentioend here prescribe 60-80 gms a day, I think. I am sure others will chime in too :) Good luck.

Sylvie I owe you and every one an apology, you are right it is 15 grams of protein and the other ones I have are 23 grams I am sorry.  I was looking at the calorie line instead of protien and I didn't have my glasses on.

I was able to get 2 shakes in and a small meal last night.

Woke up with a head ache but once I had a shake and coffee this morning it went away.
