July sleevers! Are we ready!

[blash67 82]

Thanks for sharing. You are helping me more than you know. 11 days til the big day!

I'll also say I have a friend who was sleeved right after me, same day, and she had no trouble with stomach acid or reflux. She was released to start Protein Shakes next day after discharge. We speculate that keeping me on clear liquids for several more days may have something to do with the stomach acid.

Surgery set for 31July. I start a 2 week liquid diet on Wednesday, the 17th. This will probably be harder than the surgery! See the nutritionist on the 18th. Will start stocking in supplies for post op then.

Best of luck to everyone. May we all reach our goals:)

My surgery is also on July 31. I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 17. Post surgery is 1 month at each stage. I psyched.

blash67, great to hear you're recovering well!!

My surgery is Friday the 19th, and I am on my 5th day of the pre-op liquid diet. Today was the best day so far. I think I turned a corner on day 4. I really felt fine today, really not hungry and deprived. I still have 1 shake left for the day too.

[blash67 82]

Honestly, I found the preop diet to be liberating. Never was hungry. I could not believe it. But then again, I think I had a pretty liberal preop diet - 1200 cal - high protein/lowfat/lowcarb - 4 shakes a day or you can trade up to 2 shakes for meals of eggs or cottage cheese or 4-6 oz lean Protein and garden salad or 4-6 oz lean protein and 2 c steamed veggies.

Good luck with yours on 7/19!

So excited, but so anxious. I can't believe how quickly it got here. I know it's going to be worth it. Lucky me has to clean out my system today with magnesium citrate, not looking forward to that
