619Raf 111 Posted January 4, 2015 The pre op diet hasn't been really bad it's just boring, I feel like a rabbit, 1 weetabix for Breakfast with a small amount of skimmed milk, salad for lunch & dinner, 2 pieces of fruit a day. I think I would be ok with just being able to chew on some salad and fruit, but this only Protein Shakes and liquids is hard. I survived day 1 only 11 to go.

619Raf 111 Posted January 4, 2015 This is a dumb question sorry, isn't the Protein Shakes suppose to make you fill full? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedSalamander 148 Posted January 4, 2015 I do not feel full. I mean, I'm clearly not starved. But even having 4 shakes a day can be less than 1000 calories, with a full-sized stomach. It's totally doable, but I'm not exactly feeling hale and hearty. And I am definitely not BITING things as much as I'd like! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hco7416 25 Posted January 4, 2015 I'm scheduled for January 19th. I would love to connect with some sleeve friends to share this journey with. Good luck to us all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's totally doable, but I'm not exactly feeling hale and hearty. And I am definitely not BITING things as much as I'd like! Ok, I thought I should be feeling a full sensation and I am not. Yesterday was my first day and I will admit it was horrible not because I was hungry but because my brain would not shut off, I thought about food all day and felt very weak. Today I woke up feeling much better ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downsizingdiva 459 Posted January 4, 2015 I found you ???? how are you doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downsizingdiva 459 Posted January 4, 2015 I am getting sleeved on Jan 15 in MX. Who is everyone going through for their surgery? I am using Dr Ortiz with A Lighter Me and traveling alone. Pretty nervous about going alone, but it seems everyone becomes friends once they meet in MX so I am very hopeful with that. Sleeve buddies need to stick together lol. I'm the 15th, having it here in the states. How is it going for you so far? Keep in touch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crystalmaries 55 Posted January 4, 2015 The preop diet gets better. Day 4 here. I'm definitely hungry but not craving bad foods as much. I try to drink Water to fill the hunger feeling. I have 8 days and 17 hours lol. Getting very excited. Not as nervous as I'm more and more confident of my decision. It's what's best for me. Can't wait!!

619Raf 111 Posted January 5, 2015 Today I can say it was not so bad! I kept myself so busy I am just now on my 2nd shake of the day. I did have lots of Water and a Jello, broth and a Popsicle for lunch. I am having some back pain and a slight headache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
