Default How do I do the 2 week liquid diet without milk???

Hi Everyone,

I am still waiting on my insurance approval and surgery date, but it should be any day now. So, I'm looking forward to it just a bit . In the last couple of weeks my gallbladder has flared up pretty badly, and my doctor wants to take out my gallbladder now when we do the surgery. He wants me to stay off all dairy, fatty foods, etc. This is hard enough to do when I am eating regular foods (especially the dairy), so I am getting worried about what to do once I go on the liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery. I tried making a protein shake with water and some fruit...it was nasty but I drank it anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions on non-dairy ways to make the protein drinks?

Thanks, you all are great and I love reading all of your posts!
