Not going to lie, finding the LRD tough but every day that passes is a little bit easier 😊

Hi guys, is anyone having the gastric sleeve in Jan 2023?

My preop was a 2 week liver diet with 4 shakes a day and three options out of six items- hard boiled egg, fat free cottage cheese, fat free ricotta, Protein pudding .. the first day I had a salad lol.. but it gets easier make sure you enjoy your Protein shake.. I found a brand I really liked. I lost 16 lbs in 2 weeks.

Congratulations on your weight loss!!

How is your healing?

Good luck January surgeries! I had mine last month! The one item that was my saving grace in recovery was a heated blanket, it really helped with any discomfort with honorable mention to sugar free popsicles.

I'm having mine bright and early tomorrow morning (Jan 4th). A little nervous but overall excited. Good luck to everyone!

January 2023 peeps:

Don't forget to take a few "Before" photos before your procedures. It helps to see small changes on days when you stall, especially if you develop body dysmorphia.

Wishing you all successful procedures this month!

I am scheduled for January 12th. liquid diet is going well but I’m needing some other type of Protein. This powder is starting to get disgusting

You might try the Premier Protein ready made shakes. They come in a variety of flavors and are less chalky. If you are a coffee drinker, the cafe latte is great to help you wean down to 1 cup/day pre-surgery. The vanilla is nice and smooth and not too sweat.

What helps you to reduce your gas pains? I've heard walking, stretching and deep breathing helps. What's your experience with ways to help?

I hear ya. I am also scheduled Jan 16th. Today has been the worse. my stomach is growling. I think I might have to dig into my lunch liquids early.

I found the pre made shakes to be good. The Ensure max Protein vanilla is really good.
