Cassie1/21

My surgery is on Monday the 21st and I started liquid diet on Monday consisting of three protein shakes a day along with Greek yogurt, s/f jello, broth, & light low carb dinner consisting of 3-4 oz of lean meat with two cups of salad or non starchy veggies for dinner. According to nutritionist, this shrinks your liver but also the extra protein in your body will help with the healing.

Try mixing in some sugar free jellos or puddings...that's what I do to flavor my protein shakes.

I have one week liquid diet that starts on the 14th...2 protein shakes a day and a low carb dinner...all liquids the day before and also no bowel prep...Nutritionist said to make sure I drink 2 liters of water a day also protein shakes can count towards liquid intake....The liquid diet shrinks your liver but also the extra protein that you are consuming pre-op will help you heal after your surgery....Best of luck to you!!

You look wonderful !!

Congratulations on your surgery date!! My surgery is January 21. In the past I have had cravings for sweets but following a low carb diet has helped me with fighting those sweet temptations. I keep some sugar free candies on hand for when I do get a sweet attack.

I use Pure Protein Vanilla Creme and mix it with sugar free jellos or sugar free puddings.

Me too..does being a Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist, CMRS help??

My thoughts and prayers to all of you 'sleevers' today. Good luck to you all!!

Congrads on your recent 'sleeves'!! My thoughts and prayers to you for a speedy recovery. I can't wait to be on the losers bench also!!

Best of luck to you!!

I just wanted to share my beginning journey and weight loss success so far pre-op. I started this journey in July and am scheduled to have surgery on January 21st. Many times I have felt discouraged because the journey to "my sleeve" seems like forever but than I realize it is just preparing myself and making me stronger for when I finally am sleeved. I have lost almost 50lbs pre-op by following a low carb way of eating and walking on a treadmill with some weight training. I was so happy last night when getting ready for my son's Christmas concert and I could wear a size 18!!! That has not happened in years--so for those who get discouraged put on step in front of the other because slow and steady wins the race !!

Thank you, everyone!!

Good luck!!

Sending my thoughts and prayers your way!!

Good luck to all of you today..thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery!!
