Dragonjo 1 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Sherry W I have been on 2 Protein Drinks and a Soup. I have not gotten hungry but for me the trick has been the Protein Powder added to my shakes. For Breakfast I have 8 oz almond milk (unsweetened) my 1/2 lemon at least 2 scoops of Protein powder, 1 Tbls of sugar free lemon pudding (just the powder) and then add some frozen cherries or blueberries to tone down the lemon. add 5/6 ice cubes (I shave mine first) and I am good to go for hours..

Christina T. 17 Posted December 28, 2014 Dec. 30th sleever here, too!!! How is everyone else feeling?? For me, I'm excited and a bit nervous, but mostly just anxious for the surgery part to be over with, so I can start the recovery part, and of course to see what life is like on the other side of the sleeve!!! I am overly emotional too, but that's because my depression & anxiety are kicking into high gear!!! I need a surgery buddy too!!! Any takers?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevedsister 0 Posted December 28, 2014 I'm too busy starving to death on this horrible long 2 week diet to be nervous about the surgery on the 30th. I had gallbladder surgery in '08 and it was super easy but I've heard this is worse. I'm just dying to not be hungry or be able to eat some runny retried Beans or cottage cheese or something lol. Sick to death of the broth and protein...oh well on the bright side my surgeon allows coffee up until two days before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellabill 253 Posted December 29, 2014 I am on full liquids tomorrow which is the day before surgery. I am ready and want to get this over with! It's been a long haul. I was to be free of my pain meds a week ago and I am in so much pain with my knees. The sciatica nerve is shooting down to my butt and legs. Ughh so this why I am ready to kick ass! Btw, good luck to the 29ers. I hope for the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
