Clear broth = broth that you can see through, with no bits of meat, veggies, rice, etc. in it. You can find it in boxes or cans at the market.

Ugh, I don't like hearing that you are hungry! I thought the surgery removes the 'hunger enzymes'? My husband is going to be sleeved May 2 and hopefully I will be approved a bit later. I have heard some people are not at all hungry post sleeve and others are.

If you have boullion you can make some broth with that. Good luck to you. I hope it gets easier for you!

I think food has played an important role in all of our lives. Too important! Someone recommended this book to me and it's been helpful. You got this! Think about how good you'll look and feel on the other side!

They also sell packets of broth that you can mix with hot Water (easier at work, etc).

Clear broth you can usually buy in the grocery store ......it's usually either chicken, or beef.....your surgeon's office should have given you something with a list of items you can have......when is your surgery?

I'm so glad my surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet.

No love I haven't had it yet but my surgeon requires that we do a two week pre op diet before surgery !

I totally cheated, I ate a piece of grilled chicken and baked salmon a couple of days. I'm down 13 lbs still. I couldn't do the all liquid for 2 weeks. I was so hungry, make that HANGRY! Ugh. Tomorrow is all clear broth!

I get sleeved on 28 April and am required to do a two week pre-op diet which consists of 4 shakes, two Protein bars, and 1 banana or a cup of skim milk per day. I can have up to 3 servings of sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. I am on day 5. So far it has not been to bad. I must admit the best part of my day is when I eat the banana. Good luck to everyone on their journeys!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
