Looks delish.. I've been loving a slice of great quality chicken or turkey lunch meat (usually boars head oven roast gold) half a slice of muenster, 1/5 of an avocado and rolling the avocado up in the meat and cheese.. Can't wait until I can eat tomatoes and I can add a nice slice of a Tomato on it.. This has ALWAYS been one of my favorite meals/snacks, but it was so expensive and calorie dense because I'd wind up eating half a pound of meat, four ounces of cheese and the whole avocado.. It's AWESOME to me that I can now enjoy a nice small portion of good quality nutritious food! Dear God, I love my sleeve!

Heyyyy, my surgery is May 2nd. I'm sooooo excited and nervous, this board has helped me so much and taught me more than I expected!

I *officially* start my pre op liquid diet tomorrow, but I sort of started on Sunday. Having the Protein shakes, but also going through the last of the yogurt in my fridge as well... I'm already totally sick of these damn shakes and can't waitttt to be able to eat real food again post-op.

Congrats on your surgery being scheduled! Can't wait to see updates from ya!

No beverage. Remember we are not supposed to drink anything either 20 min before or 45 minutes after. Outside of this range my beverage of choice is Water with pink lemonade flavor (0 cal).

Fiddleman, the chicken skewers look like something my husband would like (I'm vegetarian but do cook meat for him). Did you find them fresh or frozen at costco? Thanks.

They are tasty and even my wife likes to eat them all the time. They are fresh in the cooled display section back with the meat and cheese products. Each package comes with 12 skewers. There are 3 sealed sections where each section contains 4 skewers. Yummy and filling! Just another lean Protein product I like to buy from costco. They also have yummy chicken teriyaki meatballs and chipotle chicken patties as well as a few other ready to eat products.
