TLTinKY

I miss lettuce too! And never thought I'd say that. In 2 days I will be 1 month out. I eat a lot of chili, Soup, and Protein shakes. I get in 60 grams of protein and about 50 ounces of Water. I have lost 20 lbs post-op and 47 total. I am very excited and look forward to the next few months!

I was sleeved on 7-6-15 and to my surprise the only pain I had was the gas after surgery. No incision pain at all. I was up and walking 6 laps around the hospital hallways the same afternoon. It was difficult to urinate for a few days, which I hadn't expected. Getting enough fluids in has been tough too. But no pain and no hunger. I am finding it difficult to stay on a liquid diet for a full week.

I would like to know how the pre-op diet affected anyone's surgery. Does it really make a difference 3 days clear, low carb, no carb? I am day four and hate the Medafast products from my Dr. Would it make a difference if I switched shake brands or diets? Did anyone cheat and have a problem?

My surgery is scheduled for July 6th. I am on day 4 of the liquid diet and it is rough!
