I was sleeved on the 13th. Struggling to get enough liquids. I'm basically on the same diet I was on 2 weeks before surgery. I feel so nauseated and just can't drink very much. I've read some of you are having cream soups. Exactly what are you recent sleevers doing to stay hydrated, and what kind of soups are you eating? Any special preparation. I'm feeling pretty bad right now, can't help but question my decision. Please tell me it gets better. Thanks! Hope all of u are doing well!!!

I have had to do the three shakes a day and Clear liquids in between. On those days I felt really hungry I ate a few almonds. NUT said that was ok; just no carbs. Can't believe we are 4 days away!! I'm ready to get this done!

I know a couple people that had the band. One had major complications!! I based my decision on that! I'm in the medical field and I have personally seen better results from patients that have had the sleeve or by pass. Again, this is from MY observations only!!!

Hi Marielbx, I'm with u on the 13th. Like you, getting really excited! I've had to do a 2 week liquid diet; I think yesterday was hardest for me, I was just hungry ALL day!! I got through it though, and today hasn't been that bad. Can't believe it's getting soooo close now! Good luck to you, I'll be thinking about you.

I'm getting sleeved Oct 13th. Day 10 of liquid diet. For some reason was really hungry yesterday. Got through it though. Starting to get really anxious! Hopefully by Christmas I will see myself looking smaller!!

Capi, do you think the pain meds were causing the nausea? My date is Oct 13. Today was day 8 on liquid diet. Starting to feel a little anxious....Hope you're felling better!! ????

Kathy812, I'm doing well...I think. The liquid diet is not that bad. I think I want to chew something is my biggest problem. I did find out yesterday from my NUT that I could chew gum, which helps. Also, she said if I felt weak, I could eat a small amount of protein. So far, I haven't had to do that! Amazingly, those shakes are pretty filling!

Hi! So excited, I just found this "fifties" group of sleevers. I'm scheduled for Oct. 13. Started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet this past Monday. Had my surgery assessment today! 12 days, I can't believe it's so close now. For those of you that are still inquiring about protein shakes; I found the "Rockin Refuel"to be really good. It has 30 grams of protein and I have one for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Good luck to all of you!!!

My liquid diet is a protein shake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Water, SF, FF, decaf drinks in between.

athomas I'm in AndersonSC and am scheduled for Oct 13. Started preop diet today. Good luck to you!!

Started my 2 week liquid diet today. Surgery is Oct. 13. I've done ok today until right now. I really am hungry!! Hope this gets easier. Anyone else that has started the liquid diet struggling?

I've tried Rockin Refuel protein shakes, they are really good. Also, the Pure Protein from SAMs Club are ok.

I'm scheduled for Oct. 13. Have to do 2 week liquid diet which starts on 09/29. Good luck to all of you!!
