Good luck!!!! I think it will be easier for me to switch to complete liquids if I’ve been having liquids for breakfast and lunch for a while first.

My surgeon had never talked about a goal weight, either. When I asked him about goals, he discussed making lifestyle changes and habits that stay with you for life as a goal. Additionally, my dietician also told me “you are more than just a number” on several occasions and commended me on my adjustments toward a healthier lifestyle, regardless of what the scale said. The dietician did eventually give me a goal weight that fell within the healthy BMI range.

I’m really glad there is a big variety of liquids my surgeon is allowing! Good luck to you!!

Thank you for all your replies! I am a little worried about the mental fog, fatigue, and emotional stress. I do have additional PTO, but I hate taking time off work.

I have really been enjoying the Fairlife drinks. They don’t have any strange tastes or textures.

Hello! I just got my surgery date in March, pending insurance approval. I’m wondering what tools/gadgets/foods/vitamins you stocked up on before hand? What did you take with you to the hospital? Thanks!

I just turned 27 and am having my sleeve done in March. I’ve had weight issues my whole life and have struggled to keep weight off in my own efforts. I don’t have any before and after pics yet, but it’s great to have other people on here in the same age range!

The baby spoons sound like a really good idea! I’ll get some of those. I think I’ll also get some ramekins. Thanks for the information!
