It's a whole lot of trial and error on that front. My finace is now the official human dustbin. For the first 8 weeks, I'd be like 'Erm, nope, this isn't working for me'... and i'd immediately hand it over for him to finish off! He put on weight as a consequence. Muahahahaha!
If you don't like things - don't worry about it. You'll find something else and move on.
My advice? Go reasonably bland for a while. You'll tolerate it far better and won't waste so much food.

Mine have changed since surgery. Trial and error is right.
I pulled something out of the refrigerator the other day and made my husband take a bite because I thought for sure it had gone bad. Artificial sweeteners are bad for me now, too.
Some of your shakes might taste bad when you get home - keep trying them. It may get better.
Good luck!

Lmao I have no idea ... It would be cool !!

Omg don't give me any ideas lol , I definitely would be the one to take it !! I have all 4 of my wisdom teeth ... Some where lol

I got mine the day before.
I'm now 9 months out, down 100lbs from my heaviest and my tom is STILL not regular. It git crazy... like 50+ days in a cycle. Now it's down to 38. But talk about stress each month. I'm not trying to get pregnant! I just got my sexy back!

Good luck SleevinIT. I got mine Monday,and it is such a relief to be on the other side. Bring chapstick a' ay they added milk, and yesterday they added Glucerna. They gave me medicine cups, and a check off sheets. First day post surgery was 2 ounces of clear every hour. Next day was 2 ounces, 1 clear, 1 milk an hour. Yesterday was 4 ounces an hour, 2 clear, 2 milk or glucerna. Today and until my post op it's 4 clears, 4 shake/milk an hour. It remains at 8 ounces an hour until I have my postop appointment on Tuesday. I moved off the narcotic painkiller and on to plain liquid tylenol. I've felt constipated since day 1. I also feel hungry, but haven't been drinking my Protein the way I should. I'm trying to get that down now. Just don't want it. I'm on Prilosec for the gas. Getting up walking every hour, just a few laps around the house. You'll do great, I'm so glad to be sharing this journey with all of you. Thanks sleevinIT for starting this thread.

So glad you made it through and home safely. Rest now.

When you are healing you won't really eat much of anything. I kept the ready made Premier Protein chocolate drinks on hand for liquid as well as broth. For puréed Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Tomato Soup, scrambled eggs. For soft canned tuna and canned chicken, hummus.

Today is my final day preop tomorrow is surgery and I lost 22 pounds in the liquid diet...from 252 to 230 as of this morning feeling awesome

You'll be fine hang in there. The pre-op was the hardest. I had 3 days for my sleeve and one week when I had my band. I remember it did get easier after day 3 or 4. After surgery, you won't be as hungry.

Hi everyone! I am still here..lol
Still in hospital bet each day is getting a bit better. Haven't done so well on the prerequisit liquids...hoping today will be better....that's what will determine if I can go home.
Will check back later but just wanted to touch base!

Here's the short little list of our brave Friday the 13thers! Positive thoughts and smooth recoveries for all of us! Post when you can!

Good Luck to all my December 10th Sleevers !!!

I was really lucky in my preop diet requirements & didn't have to do a liquid diet. But I hear folks say all the time that the preop diet is the worst part, especially if it's an all liquid or all shake diet. Try your best to stick to the guidelines you were given, and know that it's only temporary. You've done great so far & will continue to do great after. Hang in there, it's almost over!

Post-op appointment went very well today. No issues to report. Doc is very pleased with my progress and food book.
Oh btw, I'm down 15lbs in 10 days!! Whoo hooo!
Hope everyone is doing well, those sleeved and to be sleeved!

Hey, it gets pretty overwhelming all at once...just take it one step at a time.
The other good advice I've been given:
Remember, you can't eat in the shower or when you are sleeping. If you're feeling stressed maybe try a hot bath or shower or a nap/rest?
I try to keep myself distracted with books, etc. so I don't get overwhelmed. Or I come here and look for advice.
Hang in there!

This process isn't easy... But u have to give to ur best effort...... We all have issues from time to time but this is the time to get serious..... I can say it gets better..... I was sleeved on 11/20 down 25lbs..... Congrats on losing the 13 lbs....... The pre diet was hard for me...... I cheated many of times but when I was laying in that hospital bed I regretting not being strong enough............ And 6/12hrs to be empty......

Thanks everybody... This is very informative!!!
