OH girl...I am post op and I went to the doc today and he told me I need to be on full liquids for 3 more weeks. So that will be a total of 6 weeks liquid. Whew...thank goodness for new whey vials. I have finally figured out the best way to take them, and that is only 42 grams of protein.

PS...it's not as hard post op because it is SOOOOO hard to drink enough all day. And you know you HAVE to, no choice. Pre op, you want to cheat because you know that you can have it, you just are not supposed to.

I have to say though, I never cheated, I cried, but did not cheat on the pre op diet, and my surgeon told me at the hospital that my surgery was super easy because of my liver being so small.
