Default Thank you

Thanks mucho! I love the idea of your coffee shake yummy drink. Sounds perfect! I actually have a choice of Slim Fast, Ensure...Well...I just re-read my instructions I am including them here:

You are to go on a liquid diet before your surgery. You can choose from several liquid supplements that are commercially available. All are nutritionally balanced to provide adequate protein and essential vitamins and minerals. The brand and flavor choice is up to you. These products are available at your local pharmacy/grocery store. The key is to consume only the liquid supplement and no solid food.

Examples
Slim Fast How much? Three (3) cans per day. Only.
Boost
Ensure
Sustacal
Glucerna (for diabetics)

Some patients may have followed liquid diet programs in the past and still have supplements available. Any of these products are also acceptable.
examples: Total calories not to exceed 750 day.
Optifast
Medifast

Other foods/beverages allowed: water, diet soda, crystal lite, tea or coffee with artificial sweetener (no creamer), vegetable, chicken or beef broth, sugar free jello.



So maybe this means I can try the stuff you recommened. What is it called? I will definitely try the added ice trick. Thanks so much for your support. You look incredible. Congratulations on your weight loss. Incredible!! Hip Hip Hooray for you!
