I was supposed to start my liquid diet today but it was too difficult i wasnt ready and was very hungry...... I'm going to try again tomorrow.  I am on optifast. Five shakes a day. I hope I am stronger tomorrow.

At a nutrition meeting we had (there were 16 of us!), the NUT said you could add a scoop of regular dry milk to your shakes as a boost.  1/3 cup = 8 gr of protein, so that would help...and I found some of the Premium Protein shakes at my regular grocery store.  Obviously they're cheaper at Costco (mine had them for $23 for 18 I believe), but I got 4 for $5.99 (with a $1 off coupon).  Premier also makes powders.  (And I'm sooo glad I got the easier pre-op diet...just 2 shakes a day, as many veggies as I want, a yogurt or cheesestick and a regular dinner).  Good luck to you!
