I had to go the preop diet with Dr. Suh also. What protein drinks are you using? What are you mixing your protein drinks with? Use water. Milk adds calories! Dont add fruit as it adds calories. The preop diet is to shrink the liver and to get you used to thinking about what your eatting so the postop transition is easier. Dr. Suh is fantastic! I interviewed alot of surgeons. You made a great choice. Do you have a surgery date?I use the Nectar protein and the GNC also. I prefer the Nectar Protein and have been using that exclusively for the past week since you guys told me where to go get it.... I mix it with water for the most part. I have used fat free milk a couple of times to make it a bit thicker (not much). I snack on Dried Peas that were mentioned at one of the support groups I went to (no one warned me about the Wasbi Peas LMAO).
Today was the first day back on the Bike since the crash and burn incident last week on the treadmill. My knee isnt even sore just real black and blue.....
Starting today, I am on nothing but liquids by my choice. I am not sure if this is the right thing to do but I feel I am running out of time and in the back of my brain I dont know what the insurance company may do since its the new year.........
Thanks for all your help guys............You are so great
Have a great day

Before my surgery my doctor wanted me to lose 10 to 15 pounds and the doctor's office actually gave me Optifast to use. I had three shakes a day and one meal that consisted of high protein and veges. On the day of my surgery I was down 14.5 pounds in two weeks. I don't know if this is an option for you or not.
When my husband had his surgery he weighed 535 pounds. When he started the whole weight loss process he weighed 670 pounds at his highest with a BMI of over 90. I know you can do this.......don't give up!
