I has my sleeve surgery on January 17, and this liquid diet is hard, I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end. I am not craving food but I just want to chew something of substance. I had 4 days of pre-op liquid food and I am scheduled to stay on liquids until January 31 then move to soft foods. This phase we are in is all about letting your sleeve heal. U will have ur cheese sandwich again soon.
