Attention February 2013 Sleeve Buddies!

But do they help make you feel full during the liquid diet?

Absolutely! They are your main source of satisfaction. I found that I needed about 20g of Protein every 4-5 hours to manage hunger pre-op, and it worked pretty well. It also helps prevent muscle loss.

Thanks itstheamarie! I will start mixing the powder in with my smoothies starting today.

Today is my next to the last day on the pre-op, Clear Liquids + Protein, diet. Tomorrow it's only clear liquids. Then Valentine's Day! The day I fall in love with my self all over again! I'm super nervous and excited and feeling really pressured because I procrastinated and don't have lesson plans ready for my classroom! I was leaving it until the end so I would have something to occupy my mind tomorrow when I can have ONLY clear liquids!

My BFF who was sleeved over a year ago assures me that this pre-op thing that we are doing, in all its variations, is the hardest part. I am so relieved to hear it and so are my students!

Ok guys I'm on my next to my last day of pre op diet. I'm getting more excited, anxious and nervous. I know I can do this! I've been working out so I've got my self in better shape prior to surgery. All prayers sent my way will be greatly appreciated! Surgery date Feb 15th

During the clear liquid stage my dr recommended the Protein Shots as they are clear. I'd never heard of it until this past Fri but I found them in Walmart....can't wait to try them starting tomorrow after surgery!

Just a constant headache for me so far. But I can't concentrate, and have a really hard time at work since it's hard to concentrate. My boss tells me something, and I just want to tell her "I really don't care!" LOL...
