SheWins1 207 Posted June 18, 2013 The pre-op diet was super tough for me too! I was HANGRY all the time' date=' but I did lose 12 pounds and it made me excited for the surgery. My only. advice is don't burn yourself out on the shakes, because you'll be drinking plenty of those after the surgery![/quote'] Thanks Dallas, feeling a lil better today. Were you on just all liquids or low carbs? I weighed myself and I've lost 3lbs. Since Wednesday. ( 5days) I did however sprain my left ankle today at work. Then I cycled for 5miles, which probably didn't help. I felt ok then, but now.... well that's a different story. Thanks for your support. How far out are you? Thanks again!

DallasSleeve 30 Posted June 18, 2013 I was on all liquid, but my dr said I could have a Lean Cuisine every other day for dinner. I am 1 week post-op and can barely get my Protein shakes down at all. I am drinking maybe an oz at a time! But my dr said it will get easier and I've been trying to check out other Protein choices. I am on the full liquids for 2 more weeks. I am down 20 lbs as of today so yay! 1 getlownurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txbucki 49 Posted June 18, 2013 So my pre surgery was over 70 grams of Protein less than 30 carbs. So I have been doing eggs , turkey meat, turkey sausage, chicken breast, Company dinner tonight at BBQ place. So I did just a little sausage, turkey, and lean brisket- very little sauce. Yesterday did salad with olives and turkey meat. Very low carb Italian dressing ....so I am staying under on my carbs. Hitting my protein. But that is what was asked of us. It's odd with all the variances. So hopefully what I have done is ok. Doing my surgery on the 24th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rk62 3 Posted June 18, 2013 What does that mean....you are struggling with Protein shakes? How exactly? It feels like lead when it hits my stomach and makes me nauseous. I had some broth this evening and tomorrow I'll try a fruit flavored Protein Drink. It was the vanilla and chocolate that weren't going down all that well.
