I was sleeved on 1/9/15. I am starting to get tired of using the same recipes over and over. I thought it might be fun and helpful if we could all share some of our healthy recipes for one another. I will be putting together some of mine tomorrow to post.

How long was your pre-op diet?
dukesandjax replied to smilingsarahjo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgeon required a liquid diet the day before surgery. -
I am going at about the same pace. After talking to some of the members of the GSV club, I realized that the ones that had very bad eating habits before surgery lost weight very fast due to the drastic diet change. My diet has changed very little but just reduced portions and I am averaging 2 lbs per week. Anyone else notice this?

The chocolate is amazing. I also really like the vanilla shake from rockin' refuel. I found mine at 711. It is sweet but satisfies my sweet tooth. To me it tastes like a vanilla shake.

My surgeon said decaf coffee was fine 3 days after surgery.
