Got the Date!!!

Hello all. I am new here. My name is Ree and last week I got the news that my surgery will be on May 29th right after the Memorial Weekend. I am excited and as of this past Tuesday I started my pre-op diet and I am struggling with the shakes. Has anyone else gone through this? Any suggestions?

Congradulations on getting your date..I have not had surgery yet but I have been getting protein from GNC and I ordered from www.Bariartriceating.com I got the sample pack with the living&eating well after weight surgery- by Susan mariea Leach. with shaker. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Barb

Hi Ree, I wish I had seen this post sooner.  I am having my surgery by Dr. Wolff on May 30th!  Just one day after you!   Hopefully by now you found a good shake for yourself.  What I did was take the Slim Fast Low Carb Diet (either chocolate or vanilla)... in a can (I haven't found it in a powder).  Then I add 1/2 cup of frozen berries to it (no sugar added) and mix it up in my Magic Bullet!  I have been doing that every morning and it's GREAT!  I also have two more of the Slim Fast's throughout the day and then a Lean Cuisine for dinner.  Sometimes I'll add a salad to the dinner with Fat Free Dressing.  I also eat raw veggies or dill pickles too if I can't take the hunger pangs anymore.  I'll dip the veggies in a tiny bit of fat free dressing too.  I checked with Barbara on all of this so it's fine to have.  Sugar Free Jello Helps me too.  As long as we stay under 1000 calories.  I'm sure you know all this. Just thought I'd share in case you needed something new to try out during your last two days of this starving.  I'm hungry!  HA! Keep in touch I'd like to compare notes on how we both feel after surgery! ~Heather P.S.  I don't put the fruit in all of the shakes... just the one in the morning since we can only have 1/2 cup of fruit a day!  ")
