I tried to do an all liquid diet today

ummm....I made it to lunch.  I could NOT drink the stuff.  I bought several different kinds and they all made me gag.  I am talking Anna's advice and asking to do pudding instead.  I just can't handle the taste and smell of the drinks.  Good news is that the scale did move.  I have 14 lbs to go now.  I meet with Jessica and the PA on Thursday so I'm crossing my fingers!!

I'm with you.  Those shakes are icky.  I did find some protein wafers at ww that I think are ok.  At least they are edible!  Maybe you could try those?

Yeah, I tried those and they were okay.  I tried Strawberry.  Which flavor do you like best?

I ordered some protein bullets and some Nectar protein for post-op.  Hopefully I will be able to tolerate them.  Now I am eating Pure Protein bars- 20gms of protein.  They are OK and I don't get hungry as fast. Will you be at the support group on Thursday? Denise

I would much rather eat a protein bar than drink so that is an option.  I am not sure if I will be there Thursday because I might have to go on a business dinner.  Oh that brings up a whole other issue....wow I had not thought of that.  I'm going to look strange barely eating.  Oh well, I will deal with that later!

My current favorite protein drink is SmartForme Wildberry Passion drink mix. I also drink it from a GNC sports bottle that has the little whisk ball inside and a very small drinking opening with a lid. With the small opening to drink from, there's no, or almost no odor. I also really like Matrix 5.0 Cookies N Cream protein drink and New Directions Hot Cocoa meal replacement drink. I also have Nectar Roadside Lemonade that I add a bit of lemonade Crystal Lite to ... and it's pretty good, too. Also, you might give Chike a try. You'll either love that one, or hate it. The banana is really pretty good!

Hey, shouldn't you be packing your hospital bags!   I have that sports bottle with the whisk ball too.  I haven't tried the cookies n cream but heard others rave about it.  The lemonade sounds promising, I think ruined on all these fake chocolate flavors.

They're mostly packed. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 AM. But, before that I have to take a shower in the AM with a Hibiclens torso scrub.... so, I'll be up REALLY early to get everything done before leaving for the hospital ...which is about a 20 or 25 minute drive. I can't decide whether to try to sleep tonight, or just stay up and stay busy. I'm feeling oddly calm with some excitement mixed in.

I also meet with Jessica on Thursday, at 10:45.  What happens if we don't quite make the recommended weight loss and your private paid... Can we still set a date??? I'm so afraid that 8 to 10 lbs will keep me from making goal.... Your almost there so keep it up, girl I know you can do it!!

Hey Robin!  I will see you there probably cuz my appt is 9:45.  We can do this!  I bet they will set a date based upon your past trend of weight loss or something.  I dunno.  Maybe one of the others knows how that works.
