    Re: Startbucks

    I like the skinny mocha. But it’s pretty syrupery, so I get one less pump of the skinny mocha mix.
    At home or work I just use premier protein carmel or vanilla.

    You will be fine. The preop diet is to shrink your liver. And as you have probably read it varies with each surgeon. Mine was 2 weeks. I could drink as many protein shakes as i wanted and one small...

    Re: Concerned

    I am 8 days post op. I am still having some abdominal pain, but i had a hiatal hernia repair. But it’s getting better each day. But don’t regret having the surgery. Getting up and walking has helped.
