Woohoo. We need to keep up with each other! Anyone starving yet!?! I'm mentally hungry and belly hungry some times! What does a clear liquid diet consist of?

Clear Liquids is clear Protein Drink (Isopure is the only one I know of besides unflavored Protein added to water). SF Jello, SF Popsicles, and broth. And of course Water. I think you can still use Crystal light (or whatever brand you use).

I am on the 28th! Feeling a little left out of the september group being that it is the very end of the month! I am 41, 5 ft 1 and 231 lbs. I am a little nervous because just this week my allergies have flared up and I have a cough. I do not want to be coughing after surgery. Staying dilligent on my allergy medicine and praying nothing gets messed up!!!! Pre op diet is vegetarian low fat so I am not suffering to bad. Practicing on Protein Shakes and found some good combos I like. :)

There are plenty of us late Sept sleevers :-) I'd love to hear about what you all are doing to add variety to you Protein Drinks. So far I've experimented with unsweetened almond milk, SF vanilla Creamer, Splenda/trivia and ice. When I can I will use the Magic Bullet to blend.

Forget to include that I'm using Bariatric Advantage strawberry Protein for pre op diet but had also experimented with nectar flavors and a few Jay Robb flavors.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
