Anyone know a good protein powder that is flavorless? I am only finding chocolate and vanilla. But I start full liquids tomorrow and I want something to be able to add to soups. I was sleeved on 11/5 and so far been only on clear liquids, so I haven’t had any protein yet since surgery. Seems like most people start protein shakes right away. Anyone else have to wait 5 days before starting shakes?

Just had my sleeve done Monday afternoon. Everything went really well, no complications. I have been having some bad nausea and a little bit of pain. But overall doing pretty good. Good luck to the others that get done this week!!

Starting to think about what I need to take to the hospital for surgery and after? I hadn’t really thought about it yet. Any suggestions on what we need to have there?

Anyone else stall out on loosing weight on the liquid diet? I am on day 9 today and haven't lost much of anything for the last 3 days. I lost 11 lbs really fast when I started liquids, but then haven't really lost anything for a few days. Just wondering if that is normal. Either way I am excited I made it this far, liquid diet was the scariest part for me, and I am down to my last 2 days with surgery scheduled for Monday 11/5. Getting so close!

Ohhh peppers, I didn't thing about those. I have eaten cucumbers the last 2 days! I will have to get some peppers to add into the mix.

I am the same. I don't feel hungry really. But I do have a headache and just not feeling great. And I am more tired then normal. But I think I was thinking it was going to be so terrible before I started, that so far it isn't as bad as I thought. Hopefully it keeps getting better and better each day and the next 10 days will go quickly! You also reminded me that I am allowed to have sugar free ice pops, so maybe I will have that as a 'treat' tonight :-)

Same! My surgery date is 11/5. I started my pre-op diet today also. Feels impossible at this point! But I am hoping the next 10 days fly by! What is your pre-op diet? Mine is 4 shakes per day and I am also allowed to have up to 2 cups of non-starch vegetables. (just finished some cucumbers!). Good luck!

Starting my 10 day liquid pre op diet tomorrow! Ready or not, here I come!! 11 days to surgery day!!

Just got my official approval for my surgery on 11/5. Pre-op appointment on 10/24 and liquid diet starts on 10/25. Anyone else starting liquid around the same time? I'm nervous about surviving 10 days of liquids. Would love to have someone in the same position to chat with and support with!

100% this! Thank you! Looking forward to the journey with all of you!

I just want to feel healthy. And not feel ‘restricted’ all the time. And also I really want to be able to ride a roller coaster with my son without having to worry if I will fit in the seat!

Hi I am new to the forums. But just got approved for my sleeve on Nov 5th. Would love to join conversation with other November sleevers!
