  1. Pretty sure I got almost no Protein first 3 days while I was on clear liquids. I was mostly traveling up until day 4 and Isopure made me gag. I got a bit of Protein from unjury chicken broth and thats it. Started full liquids day 4 and went gang busters on the protein...shakes, milk, Soup with unflavored protein powder added and drinkable yogurt (Siggi and Kefir). I made sure EVERYTHING I drank had protein and didn't waste my tiny space with popsicles, crystal light, etc. After I hit 60g, I would throw in some Decaf herbal tea or Vitamin Water to get my fluids up to 64oz if needed. I've gotten 60+ g protein everyday since day 5. And yes, getting in protein early on is extremely important for healing and preventing hair loss.

    I absolutely agree protein is the most important I to am 7 days out and I get my Premier Protein in 2 a day and then I get my Water in! I tolerate it quite well, I know when I feel full but I have tons of energy! I also take a chewable multi vit twice a day!


  2. Of course you will feel hungry sometimes we're still human lol I was sleeved 2/25 and I get like a little hunger twinge I drink my shakes and I feel great! We will still experience hunger though! We still have to eat! I can't wait to get into the solids I'm craving and chicken Caesar salad lol I'm a big fan of chicken breasts lol I don't have and never had a eating issue but i was overweight :) down 21 lbs since feb 11 when I started my liquid preop


  3. I'm 5 days in also 2/25 is surgery for me :) I cheated a couple bites here and there no complete meal by any means I'm down 5 lbs since feb 11 so I must be doing something right! I find drinking a lot of Water helps curb the hunger, I was not a Bing eater or in the fridge all day long before pre op diet but I love chicken and my kids to so when I'm making them chicken I take a couple pieces to take the edge off lol I was never a junk ester or soda drinker so I don't miss those things but just sitting down to eat some chicken breast with veggies is what gets to me :) I don't think a few bites will make a big difference to my liver size honestly because some surgeons don't require a pre op diet at all!
