I wish I had some tips. I seem to be getting everything down just find. As long as the water and shakes are cold. I mix jello in between Almost have a whole shake in today. Have you tried different flavored waters?

Yeah same here. I'm still not sleeping that well but it's improving. Other than that everything is going well. Water and protein shakes are going down great. Gonna walk a bunch more today since the weather is nice.

Hey. Sorry I have been away from this. I'm on day 2 of post op and I'm doing well. No issues and moving along. I start full liquids tomorrow. Still a little gas here and there but other than that and lack of sleep I'm good. How about you?

I'm doing good. Hungry today. It's the last day of veggies and fruit. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30am. Rather be early so not complaining! Best of luck and keep in touch!!!

I'm in northeast Philly and getting my surgery at Abington Memorial Hospital and by Dr Bonani! I'm on day 3 of my 1 week pre op diet. 5 days away from surgery

So far so good here! Drank my 3rd protein shake a little late last night, and was up late but other than that I'm adjusting to it. Noticed the past two days I have been grumpy at times. Best of luck to everyone. 5 days from surgery!!!

I'm doing good so far. I have to find ways to keep myself busy. Once I do it's pretty easy. I did notice I am grumpy at times. Today is day 3 and I'm doing well, only issue is I seem to not have a lot of energy...don't know if it's a mental thing or not How is it going for you?

Thanks everyone! My pre op diet is protein shakes 3x a day in place of meals. Can have a little bit of fruit and raw or steamed veggies. So far so good. Just trying to get used to it. Noticed myself getting a little grumpy and not much energy. But it was only day 1

Thanks for the kind words. I hope I can lose that much. It's only a one week diet with shakes and a little bit of fruit/veggies. It's been tough but I'm committed to this life changing decision

Just got my first Protein shake down for Breakfast. Could have been worse...lol. Excited to begin this journey. Best of luck to everyone getting sleeved this month and beyond. Hoping for success to everyone who has been sleeved already

Sorry to hear you don't have the support. This is a great site and I enjoy talking with everyone, but having outside support from people close really helps. I'm lucky to have the support of many people including co-workers and friends. Hope your friend comes around and learns more about it!

My surgery is next Monday! Started my 1 week diet with a vanilla protein shake. Not too bad but it's early. Looking forward to my journey and wishing the best for everyone involved in this process!

I tried the premier and struggled to get it all down. Gonna try another one and go from there. Thanks for all the information.

I'm sure after my surgery, once I get the ok from my doctor I'll be hitting the gym a lot too! I'm hoping I don't have much issue with the skin. I'm at 340 and my goal is around 225

What kind of weight regimen did you start out with? Low weight and high reps or the opposite?

I am not on the casino floor so I will not have any issues with second hand smoke. My surgery date is April 13th and I have a one week pre op diet which starts April 6th

Thank you. I look forward to the journey and support this group has to offer

Sounds like most people like the protein powder over ready made shakes. Thank you for all of your helpful advice. I'm gonna try a few different ones before I settle. Start my pre-op diet a week from tomorrow

Congrats! My surgery is April 13th. I start my pre op 4/6. Was wondering if most guys have issues with saggy skin or not.

Guys room?

Hey everyone. I start my 1 week pre op diet 4/6 and am starting to prepare to buy stuff. Looking for recommendations on what I should buy.

Hey...yeah not many. I meant two weeks away from surgery! Sorry about that.

I was wondering if any of the guys had success in losing fat in the pelvic area? I'm about 2 weeks out of surgery and and excited. Just something I was wondering, since I haven't talked to many guys recently.

I live in Philadelphia. Surgery date is April 13th start my pre op diet 1 week before! Can't wait to start the beginning of a new life!

I have no clue how often they do but you shouldn't be smoking still. You are risking severe complications by doing so. You really should push your surgery back and quit so you don't run into problems later
