Thats what we do, right? Feel a little sad/mad and we eat. Is there any sort of veggie Soup you like that you can strain? Or search Pinterest for some ideas? So I'll try to prepare myself for wanting to taste salt.

Hello,

Yes, I am having my sleeve surgery on Monday (Nov 14th).

I have been sticking to the pre-op diet, taking my Vitamins, drinking my Protein Shakes daily. I didn't find that the diet was difficult at all.

Shakes: Premier Protein shake which has about 22g of Protein per 8oz. serving. Have them in vanilla and chocolate. Not bad at all, but before I run out, I might order a different brand.

Also ordered some unjury Protein Powder and tried it in place of one of the shakes. Mixed it in 8 oz. of chicken broth. It was real good.

Just found this place and I think it is so cool.... and had fun going through the store.... can't wait to try a few items I saw there.

2 more days! Woohoo!

Not feeling nervous at all... just excited. I am so ready for this!

I wish all of you November sleeve patients the best! Stay positive. :)

You're right that is what we do. Idk about straining Soups because of the different spices that we can't consume post-op but my first doctor's appointment is tomorrow and boy do I have a lot of questions. Thank you for reminding me to stay focused

Anyone else go to Mexico? How was your experience?

Wishing all the November sleevers a speedy recovery.

How are you doing/feeling?

Hi. I am feeling good, better than i thought Id be. I had a lot of pain on my shoulders. I also had a hiatal hernia repair with the sleeve, so think that is what caused this pain. Other than that i am fine. Sticking with the clear liquid diet.

Today is the day. I'm starving. I haven't 'eaten' since Wednesday evening. I feel bad for all the pre-op liquid diets out there. I'm not supposed to drink Water except to take my meds, my surgery isn't until 3:30. You can better bet I'm taking each pill separately, hehe.

Okay, so I spoke to the WLS center today and they ask to move my surgery up by 1 week. So now it will be on the 25th. I am so cautiously excited but I know this will be good for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
