Any Dec 13 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Mine is similar. I have 1000 calories per day but not limited to shakes. I guess all drs are different. Have you looked into any brand of shakes yet?

My surgeon requires nothing but liquids (Protein shakes). Typically, a 10 day liquid diet is required prior to surgery but for me the surgeon made an exception. 20 days liquid diet! :blink:

Yeah, unfortunately I really dislike all Protein Drinks. I will likely alternate between Carnation and Unjury. They are the two brands that I can stand the most. It is going to be a long month until surgery. I start liquids the day after Thanksgiving.

I should start with you. I was honestly thinking about doing all liquid anyway... To help prepare. I have read other posts on here that some members have enjoyed the Premier Protein chocolate shakes hitch have 30 grams Protein. I have never had them before though.

I know it sounds miserable, but I also know it has the best results for losing pre-op weight and most importantly, shrinking the liver. The surgeon is anticipated extra difficulty due to scarring so wants as much room to work in there as possible.

See and that is exactly why I was thinking to do a liquid anyway is because of the shrinking of the liver. She said mine looks ok from the ultrasound but it is always better to be safer and make it easier for the surgeon when they operating.

That was my thought and why I didn't even try to argue with him. If he says it will make a night and day difference in the difficulty of the procedure then I'm going to do what I can to make it easy.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
