Drinking sweet stuff all day is really gross.

What I do like is broth alone, and broth with unflavored Protein Powder. I find that far more satisfying. I have the Unjury unflavored powder and the IsoNatural unflavored whey. http://www.vitacost.com/allmax-nutrition-isonatural-whey-protein-isolate-unflavored-2-lbs-1 the IsoNatural foams up a little more than the unjury, but it also blends better. I can buy the IsoNatural locally so I think I will use it ovevr Unjury. Unjury also makes a chicken Soup, but the sodium content is very high. You can get the same effect with broth and unflavored Protein with less sodium. I also have Syntrax Nectar Cappucino and watermelon flavored Protein Drink with BCAAs for muscle retention.

I drink broth and Water in between shakes to keep hunger at bay.

July 21 for me... today is day 2 of my pre-op diet... if anyone has some suggestions for flavor and variety from the the usual stuff on the Doc's handouts I would be grateful

I have my sleeve surgery on July 14th. I'm excited to begin a new chapter in my life. God bless everyone with their surgeries.

Hi Jen--me, too!! It almost feels like it is surreal! I have to do a two day liquid diet before Tuesday, and I am starved! I truly feel sorry for those who have to do this for two weeks. Good luck to you and everyone else here!!

You don't have information from your doctor? I have a book and a paper packet and the nutritionist also told me what to have. If you are in doubt contact the office. If you need advice on types of Protein, plenty of people can help with suggestions.

I'm at the other end-in Barnegat. Did you get any answers from the doctor's office on what you can have on the pre-op diet? I had a one hour class just on the pre-op and first week post op diets. I could share my info with you, but every doctor seems to have their own protocols all the way from all liquids to just a low carb diet, so it would be better to get the info from them.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
