Everything on the liquid diet is sweet besides broth. In tied of brothThats 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. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimidanadrt2 12 Posted November 16, 2016 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. -Shelley I had my surgery on the 14th as well. How are you doing? Highest Weight - 297 When I Started working with Nutritionist at Bariatric Center - 271 Before 10 Day liquid diet - 250 Surgery Weight 239 Goal Weight - 160 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Prilly82 7 Posted November 18, 2016 I'm flying to Tijuana to on Sunday to have my sleeve done on Monday. Anyone else go to Mexico? How was your experience? Wishing all the November sleevers a speedy recovery. Hi, how was your surgery? How are you feeling? I had mine on the 11 in TJ. Doing great here.

Prilly82 7 Posted November 18, 2016 Just had it Nov 11. In Mexico Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App How are you doing/feeling? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChickenChick 30 Posted November 18, 2016 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.

Hazel_eyez 173 Posted November 19, 2016 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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
