@@pmo23 Hi! Congratulations. I would start practicing not drinking with your meals and experiment with some different Protein powders or ready-made drinks For before and after your surgery. Do as much research as you can. There are a lot of great inspirational people on here that will help you along your way. I was just sleeved Monday and I felt really prepared thanks to all the help I received. Remember every experience is different, every journey has its own list of rules to abide by. Good luck to you!

My surgery is Dec. 18th. About 2 weeks ago I came off all caffeine and started practicing eating very slow. One week ago I stopped all alcohol and made a conscious effort to chew each SMALL bite at least 30 times. This weekend is my last weekend to have caffeine free carbonated beverages and to start a high Protein diet. Next week I will start replacing one meal with a Protein Shake. I'm also pushing Water, water, water. Start now making changes. I for one didn't want to be detoxing off caffeine and soda while trying to do my 2 week pre-op diet. I would go postal!

Hi PMO23 - I'm a month away from my surgery date in December, and I'm having the same problem. I don't know if it's anxiety over the procedure, but I feel like I've lost control over my appetite. I was doing so much better BEFORE I got the surgery date. Are you better now? If so, how did you manage to control your appetite? Thanks! I hope all goes well for you!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
