January 24th Sleevers? Let’s prep together!



Recommended Posts

I’ll be sleeving in Chicagoland on 1/24 and starting my 2 week liquid pre-op diet tomorrow.

I had farewell tacos and wine tonight and am prepping for work with broth and PP shakes for the rest of the week.

Does anyone want to tag along on this post? We could share ideas, commiserate and hold each other accountable!

I’m really ready. I have a close friend who is a year post op and seeing her go through the experience really inspired me. You can totally do the pre-op diet!

I’m in Washington my surgery is on the 24th as well. My pre op as been going well. Protein Shakes and one meal a day. Have Protein and veggies with legumes. I prepare my meals for the week on Sunday mostly fish because I don’t eat meat. How’s yours going?

Good luck to my fellow Jan 24 sleevers

I start the liquid diet now. I am only allowed one cup of broth a day whichn perplexes me. I think I will be eating vats of sugar free jello!

Linda, if you can get it, “bone broth” has a lot more Protein than regular broth - and it tastes really good!

I only have a couple of cups of broth on mine by choice - the shakes and tea really fill me up and the Jello is great when you want to chew something!

      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.
