July 8th Sleevers

It went really well. He was able to put me at ease over what the pain levels might be like.

How did you do on the 14 day liquid Pre-op diet? I am at day 7 now and choking down the Protein Drinks is horrid right now.

I only had to do 1 week pre op liquids. It was not to fun but with the ultimate goal in mind it was ok. When is your surgery again?

July 17 is my surgery date. Yesterday was a rough day on the liquid diet. This morning I have placed goals on myself to get my Protein in.

July 17 is my surgery date. Yesterday was a rough day on the liquid diet. This morning I have placed goals on myself to get my Protein in.

When i was on my week of liquids i did: Protein Shake before i left for work, took oatmeal for around 9-9:30, ate some Soup an applesauce for lunch, cottage cheese for snack, and then soup and pudding for supper. I then would eat Jello right before bed. I did that every day for the week. It was never bad as long as i got all of my protein in! Good luck!

He has me on Clear Liquids. I get broth, SF Jello, SF Popsicles, Water, tea, apple/grape/cranberry juice, and then the protein drinks. 800 calories and 60 gram protein.
