Any MAY sleevers???

[apositivelife4me 189]

i am very very nervous about tomorrow. I have to be there at 5am. I guess it takes about 2 hours to prep for the surgery.

try Premier Protein peaches and cream,I got them for my in-case shelf where all the pre surgery items are,kept. Still not giving up on late Spring-Early Summer for me. Anyhow last week I was running late for PCP appointment. Hadn't ate so,popped one open. Not bad at all, very faint evaporated milk aftertaste. I'm sure I will loathe such things before pre and post [emoji40] surgery diets are finished but I could stand this one. I'm allergic to chocolate and so many use that for a shake flavor, I like strawberry now, but every day? Maybe not, cross that bridge when my road opens back up.. Soon and very soon is my deepest hope. [emoji12]

Try Quest banana cream it’s awesome
It’s so yummy. And often I just make s with Water. They use real freeze dried bananas in is so good

Sams club has the best price and assortment but Walmart on line has them too

Hi. I had my sleeve done a week ago today. Please try not to be nervous. I'm sure it will all go fine. My advice would be to tell you to get up and walk walk walk has soon as they let you! It really does help with the gas pain. By this time next week you will be feeling happy you had it done!

I have found that I love Syntrax Nectar. The unflavored dissolves well and I can add it to my crystal light or Soup or whatever. (I haven't had my sleeve yet, but I am getting ready) The fuzzy navel is really good too. There are about 15 flavors, but I have not tried any others. They even have a sample pack. I will say the unflavored is only 10 g Protein per scoop. The fuzzy navel and other flavors have 23g per scoop. https://www.si03.com/nectar.php

This is the Syntrax site and great for info. Amazon has it a lot cheaper.

The purpose of the pre-op diet is ketosis which shrinks the liver. The liquid diet was tough for me since I don’t enjoy the Protein Drinks. I did, however, stick with a high Protein and no carb diet during the pre-op and lost weight, and the surgeon said my liver looked great.

My surgery is the 15th as well!

Had my pre op appointment today! I am extremely surprised that my surgeon has me on a liquid diet only 24 hours before surgery. Thoughts???

I believe from others comments here that not all surgeons do preop to shrink liver so he must only do clear fluids day before to have a clean clear stomach.

Good luck! I’m Thursday at noon!

That was my experience too! I had no problems. By chance do you have Kaiser?
