Hi all, i think this is an awesome idea! I would like to attend but am very scared of driving in the st. Louis area.. I work in st. Peters, MO off cave springs. Is anyone interested in carpooling? You can contact me at uniek1@ymail.com. By the way name is Anisa and I was sleeved 3/3/14.

But im not feeling full fast enough : ( thats what im afraid of. I havent been measuring because ive depended on the feeling of restriction so i will definetely start : ). Is it normal to get tired of eating the foods on the liquid diet because i sure am! Thanks for your advice!

I had my surgery on the 3rd and I feel overwhelmed about how to properly manage my diet. I thought the liquid diet would become easier after surgery because I wouldn't be as hungry but I was wrong. Im still hungry and getting tired of eating the same things. Is it just me?

I am struggling with the same problem liguy! I too had my surgery on 3/3/14. I don't feel like I get full fast enough and it worries me as well. In addition I struggle with drinking the recommended amounts of liquid and believe I am slowly becoming dehydrated. Thanks for sharing!

Ill definetely look into those. Thanks so much!

Thank you for your comment!

Can u recommend an inexpensive unflavored protein powder that i can add to hot and cold foods? I'm trying to get a hang of sipping as oppossed to chugging . I don't feel like I'm getting enough liquids and afraid of becoming dehydrated.

Hello All, I was sleeved on March 3rd and was finally discharged from the hospital today, March 6. I had to stay an extra day because I couldn't keep any liquids down. I got discharged this afternoon and so far I am doing alright. Still sore and a little nervous about what I should eat because I don't want to get sick again. My doctor encouraged me to focus on drinking 64 oz of fluids a day to prevent dehydration but the manual that she gave me stated that there's no way I can consume that amount at the beginning; so I'm confused. Has this happened to anyone else?

Good for u unsleevable! My surgery is scheduled for march 3 and im a nervous wreck about the 2 week liquid diet. :-( im so glad to hear you are successfully preparing yourself for this journey! It definetely gives me hope : )

Thank you for your reply.... will u please clarify something for me? Ok, so the protein powder im using says its 150 calories...is that before the milk?

Hello All, My surgery is scheduled for March 3, 2014 so I will be starting my pre-op diet SOON. I am so nervous because I've never had to go on a liquid diet for two weeks before. Does the pre-op diet get easier?

Hello All, Is it normal to be nervous about the 2 week liquid pre-op diet? My surgery is scheduled for March 3, 2014. My doctor advised I can only have 800 calories a day while i'm on the diet. I am so nervous!! Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
