Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Hi Sharon!! I couldn't help but notice that you are having your consult with Dr. Forse? He did my surgery on Halloween, and I think he is the best. If you have any questions about him, his office staff, the process, anything, please feel free to email me okay? Also, protein drinks are not all you eat/drink. As a matter of fact, Dr. Forse would prefer that we get all our protein from real food sources, because he wants us to lead a normal life, and " normal " people don't drink only protein drinks. Of course, he doesn't object if you use them, especially if you need them. I am 11 weeks post op and I have lost 60 lbs. I eat anything I want and I have no food intolerances. Good luck in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Before a colonoscopy? Around here that would be a BIG no-no. It isn't a clear liquid AND it has a fiber content.
