Hi, Is anyone on the liquid protein preop diet ?
aliciac replied to lisemaria's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have bought Campbell's bean with bacon soup and cream of potato soup. I blend it in the blender and then heat it up in a coffee cup to drink. It is much more satisfying than the other types of boxed creamed soups. I also have a protein shake in the morning. I put a 90 calorie yoplait yogurt, and 1 cup of non fat milk, 1 scoop of protein powder, and some frozen fruit. My nutritionist said that was o.k. to have. In the evenings I have 1 protein drink from a container (premier) and some more soup. I'm hungry all the time, I'm hoping it will start to get better soon. -
I'm having the sleeve on June 30. I'm only 3 days into the liquid diet and it's awful! I feel so low on energy. My stomach is constantly hungry. I have the worst headaches. I hope it gets better.

How long does it take to get used to the liquid diet before surgery?
aliciac posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Today is my first full day on the liquid diet. I am starving! I even have a headache. Does it eventually go away? The thought of feeling like this for 13 more days is awful! -
Does anyone know if we can drink carbonated beverages during the 14 day liquid diet?

I'm going through the pre classes right now and am thinking about getting the sleeve. I have 180+ pounds to lose. Is that possible with the sleeve? Just wanted to hear any success stories. Thanks! -

Thanks for all the wonderful advice! I guess I'm most worried about having a lot of lose skin left on my body. I am 49 years old. I've heard the older you are the harder it is for your skin to bounce back. -
Anyone have the sleeve that has a thyroid problem?
aliciac posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi there, I am about to get the sleeve soon. I have a thyroid problem and take levothyroxine daily to control my thyroid. I'm just wondering if anyone else was in my situation and how it may have affected them. I was told by my doctor as I start losing weight, I will have to adjust my mediction. I'm just nervous about it all. -

Thanks for the info. That's what my doctor mentioned too. I was worried because I hear that people lose their hair with this surgery. Apparently when you lose weight if you are taking too high of a dosage of senthroid it causes hair loss too. That's why I wondered if anyone had actually had that problem, My doctor said usually for every 50 pounds you lose your dosage should be adjusted.
