mattsbelly 76 Posted February 18, 2013 Any 3/4 sleevers starting their two week Pre op diet tomorrow? What was your last meal? What diet are you on? Maybe we can use this thread to help get us through the day. I'm on 3 Protein shakes a day and Clear liquids only. Clear Liquids encompasses a wide range of items.

shakur154 55 Posted February 18, 2013 Hey I'm a March 4 sleeve! I'm not prepared at all. I do have my Protein Shakes ready to go. Im going to wing it tomorrow until i get off work and go to the store to get my sugar free drinks and popsicles. My last meal was a fish sandwich from Burger King. I know I could have picked a better meal but I was in church all day! What do u plan to eat/drink tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I could have picked a better meal but I was in church all day! What do u plan to eat/drink tomorrow? I have my Protein Shakes all prepped. I don't have any of the clear liquids. I guess I will do that tomorrow. Fortunately I have tomorrow and Tuesday off. I have my EGD on Tuesday. I'm guessing I will have to fast for that. My last meal was heart stopping Mac and cheese. Won't have that ever again!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been doing a Protein Shake every day, started taking Biotin (my hair goes down to my butt and I don't want to lose it), and I've been completely off pop for almost 6 weeks!! I'm pretty much just working for the next couple weeks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NikkiV1986 121 Posted February 18, 2013 Protein does help with healing. I also believe that it helps our bodies get used to the shakes as well as allows us to try some different kinds and find out what we like before hand. Also there's the weight loss aspect with drinking the shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susie1226 138 Posted February 18, 2013 Protein is essential to keep muscle. If you don't eat protein and go on a very strict diet your own body will begin to break down your muscle for energy. Plus protein keeps you full longer than carbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
