woozybaby27 15 Posted June 26, 2014 Hey ladies and gentlemen, I am new to the forum. I will be officially sleeved July 14th. How can I start preparing myself for the liquid diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer0609 83 Posted June 26, 2014 I was on a 2week preop diet. I started a week or so earlier with replacing a meal with a shake. I enjoyed some of my favorite foods the last week as well. I knew it would be a while before I could have them again. get in the habit if tracking. try different Protein powders, but don't buy in bulk as your taste may change after surgery . The liquid diet can be challenging - just hang in there! If you are a coffee person start decreasing it now, you don't want caffeine withdrawal in the postop stage. congrats on your decision for surgery! I had my sleeve on June 9th, good luck! 1 Ima Fox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
