Surgery date 6/15/06

Hi, I am new to this site. I have my surgery on the 15th and I am on the liquid diet now but I can not drink the slim fast or boost, they make me gag. Is there anything else I can drink that taste better? I was so hungry yesterday after only eating fruit and veggies. Can anyone help me get thru til then? Thanks. Crystal

I like Isopure Zero Carb, pre mixed. You can get it at GNC. They aso have Isopure powdered mixes, some of which are fruit flavored. We post ops don't use Slim Fast or Boost due to the high sugar content. There is one type of Slim Fast that has lower carbs but if you don't like it, there is no sense trying it. There are quite a few different protein drinks and mixes that we all use, but many of them we order off the internet and you don't have time for that. Try GNC, or if you are close to Richmond, The Vitamin Shoppe. Both have several types of protein drinks from which to choose. Watch the sugars! Good luck! Lois

Thanks! I will see if I can get some. Crystal

Good luck and best wishes with your surgery-I'm going to be 6 days behind your joining the losing team. Bob

Wow Crystal...I don't know how to help ya there. Thank God my doc didn't require a liquid diet..because those Girl Scout cookies were calling my name up until the last minute !!! Just think only one more week !!!!! Then this liquid diet nightmare will be over and you will not feel the hunger anymore..well at least not for a long time !! Stay strong !!! You can do it !!! hugs, Dana

congrads on your up coming surgery! that liquid diet can be a pain, it will be better for you to lose some weight before surgery though.. people have to sacrifice and go through pain to get this done and be a healthier person. look as it as medication and not a diet.... your surgery is right around the corner! i know your happy about that... congrads again... cheryl

Thanks everyone for your suppost. Good luck Bob! Crystal
