I was also done on the 11th & I'm on clear liquids for 2 weeks. All I can have is water, very diluted 100% juice, broth (uggghhhh) and Crystal light. NOTHING ELSE. No protein or vitamins. From here I go to 2 months of full liquids & only 5 days out & umm I'm so OVER broth. And I'm like am I hungry? Bc I sure do feel like it.

Yes we were!! Happy birthday to us!! Haha! We did it we did it we did it!! Now sip sip sip!! Haha.

Ohhh my gosh wish you could cook for me!!!! What you are having sounds really really good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I am glad to see that you are able to put your moms gift in perspective & go & enjoy your birthday!!! Are you going to the aquarium?

Hello my June brothers & sisters!! Hope you all are feeling well as we are midway though OUR month. I was sleeved on the 11th & stayed day of surgery & 2 days in the hospital. I'm not going to lie.. That gas pain is no joke. My dr was "very stingy" (as my nurses said) on the pain meds so I was hurting more than prob the average sleeve patient ( needed to be). Now that I'm home it's a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks, then Protein & strained Soups & liquids for 6 more weeks. Lets just say.. That chicken broth get real old real quick. Lol Overall words can't express how happy I am that I am sleeved. Right now I'm healing & I know this is part of the process. It's just going to be a minor blip in hindsight compared to being healthy for the rest of my life. As for my hospital stay I brought the robe I never used & my Kindle & heating pad & gasX strips all never got used. I barely barely even had the tv on at all. The hospital really does provide you with everything you will need. Just be strong & try to walk as much as you can. I wish you all Preop's the very very best & praying for you all & my post ops... We did it y'all!!!!!! Now I am SO looking forward to OUR sharing of before & after pics!! Ohhhh btw y'all follow your preop diets!! My dr remarked on how tiny my liver was! (Hands in the air). It sure wasn't easy but YOU CAN DO IT!! I kept telling myself " I can have these foods, I just choose not to" and it helped me. I know you're hungry bc I was but it will be worth it!!

Today is FINALLY MY DAY!!!! GOOD LUCK & God be with all my sleeve sisters and brothers today!! We got this y'all!!!

Ohhh my gosh I feel you on that one. Someone's wife made peanut butter cookies & put them on the credenza directly behind my desk so. I had to smell them all day. Just kept sippin that broth...

Ill be with you both! We got this!!

Ok y'all.. Day 5 of the preop diet protein shakes only & today I broke out in tears on my bf bc he said he was hungry. Don't tell me it gets worse than this AFTER surgery!! Lol

I'm only on day 4 & it's water & Protein shakes only. I'm sticking to the plan but ohhhhhhh is it HARD!!!!!

Me too.

I'm sorry y'all... Day 4 of my pre op diet. No food. Just protein shakes & water & I'm really hungry. I know I'm doing this for a very good reason but I'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY frigging hungry & obsessing about food!!! All the self talk in the world isn't stopping my tummy from rumbling. I'm drinking 4-5 protein shakes a day. And a lake full of water...

Look @ you with your cute self!! Go girl!!!

I'm here for you!!

Only a couple people know about mine too.. Good luck!! I'm happy we have this support right here!

Thank you!!

Me too!! And after my surgery June 11th it's 2 months of liquid diet. I'm scared as heck but so ready to try my best bc I'm more excited for good results if you know what I mean? I say that now, lying in my comfy bed the day BEFORE! Lol. Hopefully I will be singing the same tune in a day or two! :-p

I tried it too & it really is the shake mix that tastes like a cake mix. It was SOOO good but my nut says I can't have it either.
