Make sure to start your protein supplement 1st thing in the morning! As soon as your feet hit the floor!

I've learned my lesson! I had my metabolism so screwed up from not eating anything during the day til I couldn't wait any longer!!! Usually around 2 pm. My body went into starvation mode and stayed there for 3 years. It held onto every calorie I have ever taken in!

When I finally changed, and started taking in calories first thing in the morning I started dropping weight! It didn't happen over night, mind you,, It took a month for my body to realize I was going to feed it regularly. By the time I started the liquid diet for pre-op, the weight just fell off!

Good luck with yours!
God Bless!

Very good advice krystlmom. I was able to have broths and sf jello as well. Right before the surgery I started to feel very tired but I was told that was expected when you are on only liquids. The energy did come back after a couple of weeks so don't worry. Also it might be a good idea to start all your vitamins as well so you get use to taking them regularly. Best of luck on your surgery keep us posted and take care Estelle
