    Is it okay to not use protein shakes during this time? I am eating a lot of protein and green veggies, eggs, nuts, cheese. Is that ok?

    I was given a pre op diet of protein shakes and protein bars. And lots of water. I start that in about 1 month.

    enjoy not having to drink protein shakes before surgery. just make sure you follow your doctor's advice. some doctors have patients go on liquid diets for a week or two before surgery. mine only required me to do liquids only on the day before surgery, but i had to lose 20 lbs in the months before my surgery. also, i cannot stress enough. exercise as much as you can. strengthen your abdominals and your legs. i have had a smooth ride compared to others and i think its because i was exercising so much beforehand.

    My surgery is next Wednesday, and my Surgeon put me on only suger free protein shakes mixed with water 5-6 per day, 1 cup of jello as a snack, and 2 suger free popsicles. The day before surgery is clear liquids, 3 oz's broth 3 times per day and a bottle of Isopure protein drink. Not very pleasant, but over the hump and on the downward days!
