Do u guys think I can have one this on my preop? It's 45 grams of protein and like 1-2 grams of carbs and sugars? Thinking of getting one on my way to work.

Smoothie king is a smoothie place around most areas and there's one near my job and wanted to get one on my way. Not sure what flavor it is or if I get to choose but I'm going to try it out. It's only 270 calories for a 32 ounce

You will be in my prayers too, thank you! This preop is so hard! And now I've gained what I've lost because my aunt is coming to visit ;(. Ugh, sucks!

Any body ever made broth into gelatin on their clear liquid diet ? Thinking of doing this to get in some savory substance that is not sweet. Any opinions would be great!

Has anyone not lost during their preop liquid diet and still ha success with their sleeve? I know I shouldn't weigh everyday, but I do. I went from 248 to 243 and now I'm 248 again and I'm on day 6 or 14 liquid diet. I'm drinking my water and my protein im averaging 50-70 grams. I'm also feeling my cycle coming ;(. Ugh. Would like to know the most people have lost or not lost on their preop. I know I probably gained because my cycle but it made me wonder.

Yeah I was going to use chicken broth and flavor it with fresh herbs and clear gelatin. Good call on the broth sickles lol

Anytime! I know it's been hard for me but we can do it!!

I just want to thank everyone for the kind words and inspiration, I'm very sorry I felt this way, I was wrong. Of anyone ever needs advice also, I'll be here too. You all made my day. Thank u . Now if I can just get over this preop hell I'll feel better, lol.

A lot of people come on here for support and opinions and I Signed up for Vsg talk for that purpose but I honestly don't feel any support. I make comments and posts about what I'm going through and people don't really respond. I know everyone goes through different things and some need help and some don't but I like to get my opinions because like many people here, this is life changing an we're supposed to be going through this together, so I thought. So I guess I'll just stop posting and commenting and learn on my own. Dont Get me wrong, i have a very strong support system and loving boyfriend but they will never understand because they r not going through this. I'll just start asking my doctor instead of bothering everyone else on here. God bless

Maybe I expected more ? Not sure but I'll give it another try.

Thank you everyone, very supportive responses that made me feel better. I'll give it another chance . As far as my fitness pal, I plan on getting on there soon. I have the app downloaded but haven't even got on there. ;/. I guess I'm being lazy, lol. But again, I appreciate all the responses, gave me some hope.

I would atleast make sure the Alfredo is fat free and u use wheat pasta. But I was told no pasta

You're making me wanna pickle, I'm on my preop liquid diet.

Just don't go over 130 degrees and u will b fine or else it clumps

Dr. Alvarez $8750. I'm driving but have to pay for gas, only 6 hours away.

Cranky is an understatement for me. I made a post about irritability and frustration and today is day five and I actually feel so much better. I guess it's true, it gets better about day 5. Hang in there

Same here , I'm type one and worried about slow weight loss.

On my third day of preop liquids for two weeks and I wanna know how long this lack of energy lasts? I feel tired and weak and just want to sleep all day. I work 12 hour days on the weekends and am exhausted from that alone. I work in a restaurant as a shift leader so I'm always on my feet.

Thank u Amy, I'm staying strong

Thanks Beth. Hang In there. I'm trying to be strong. It's 330 am and I just took a hot shower to help me sleep. I keep getting low blood sugars (I have type 1 ) and no matter how little insulin I take, it still drops. Shakes only hold me up for an hour or two so I ate some bread to keep ur up through the night do I don't collapse like I almost did yesterday. I'm scared now. ;( working 12 hour days doesn't help either.
