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.

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! :)

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...

      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.
