I made it. Had a panic attack right before but the surgeon and nurses helped me down. Worst part is back pain right now.

Good luck and best wishes on your weight loss journey.

Good luck! It will be tough in the beginning, but just remember it is your health at stake. You will be fine, but prepare your mind and know you can do it!

every dietitian I've ever seen (3 of them, I think?) have said Egg McMuffins aren't a bad choice. Egg - cheese - Canadian bacon (a lean ham). Lots of protein, and 300 kcal. If you're doing low carb, just don't eat the top part of the English muffin. Of course, this isn't a great choice if you're early out, but for those of us pretty far out (or in maintenance, like me), you could do a lot worse.

Pour through a fine mesh strainer?

i skim it off with a spoon messy but works

Thank you so much for your responses. I think I will be ok as well since I am still 10 days out from my surgery. I will check with the nutritionist tomorrow just to make sure. It sure is nice to be able to talk with people who have been through the pre-op diet already! Thanks again!

Oh father i have sinned = Hell ya! But only in the way i was confused - Liquids do not mean Vodka and Wine, I also purred the hell out of soup which is not really clear liquids - But the last 3 days was totally broth

Do you find the changes are working and having a positive effect? I am here to help support or encourage if anyone needs it.

I'm a year post-sleeve and didn't lose as much as I should have/could have so I'm back on it. I never stopped counting calories and tracking protein intake and drinking water, but I added in some sugary foods a few times that halted my progress. So to get back on track I am back here on the forums to keep informed and aware. I track every single thing I eat in MyFitnessPal.com. I eat 80 g of protein a day, around 1000 calories, drink 64+ ounces of water a day and work out 3 times a week.
