Day One of Pre-Op Diet...I think I'd rather just starve.

[yankee2gal2@yahoo.com 22]

I have been drinking Premier brand shakes(walmart,SAMs,Cosco) they really pretty good. Even better over ice. Yes it be worth it. My surgery is Tuesday. 7/7.

Hang in there I it is hard. But we are having this surgery for reason I keep telling myself that.

Why do you have to eat this way before the sleeve? Do all surgeons require this.

I think they vary but most do. It has to do with shrinking your liver down for the surgery. Your doctor should explain it to you

Don't give up it really will be worth it. I did just what they told an I haven't had any problems. An I'm 3 weeks out yesterday. Eating chicken, refried Beans. An chewing well I feel great I've lost 20 pounds. Don't get on a hurry remember We didn't gain this weight over night an we shouldn't expect to lose over night. I'm so glad I have had procedure done

I didn't have a specific brand to eat/drink, but what got me through was that I kept telling myself I could do anything for / weeks. I was so afraid of not shrinking my liver enough to have it laparoscopically! I'm day 8 post-op (band to sleeve revision) and it's getting better each day! Hang in there!!

Hello! I began my pre-op diet today as well In my case it's for 2 weeks and I am on the 'Bariatric Advantage' product per my doc. It's the Protein powder shakes (I got chocolate, orange cream, and strawberry) and also the Protein Bars. I'm supposed to be on 4-5 shakes and 1-2 bars per day (plus all the crystal light I can drink).

The bars look like something I might clean up after my cat (gross) but don't taste too bad. The shakes will take some getting used to, pretty chalky but not too bad. I'll have to see how I feel about it in a few days

Hang in there!

Hi! I'm starting my pre op diet on Aug 5th. My doc also put me on the Bariatric Advantage shakes. ....but what Protein Bars are you using? ....and what is the pudding? I don't want to miss out on any "tasty" treats! : )
