I was drinking 4 of the Bariessentials shakes mixed with almond milk and I was so sick. My stomach was upset and my head hurt so bad. I talked to the PA at my surgeon's office and she said to go back to Premier Protein shakes. They really are the best, and I feel 100% better after switching back. I was also told to make sure I DON'T get the low sodium broth because the sodium is needed to stave off the headaches.

I haven't had my surgery yet (11/17), but I had a dream last week that I forgot that I had surgery and 2 days later went to get some buffalo wings and after I ate them I realized what I had done, but it was too late. My stomach had already exploded... Anxiety much?

Congrats to making a great decision! I too used KBI and Dr Kim did my surgery. The liquid diet is strict but there's a reason why. Just don't cheat. Follow the information you were given in our Bariatric "Bible" and you will reach your goals. I ate lots of Jello and stuck with 4-5 shakes a day along with the popcisles and broth. I think blending your shakes up with ice helps much more than just a shaker cup. This is only 1 time in your life that you have to do this, so think of it that way. It will be worth it all in the end I promise. Just never give up As far as dreams yes i have weird dreams all the time. Hang in there, take one day at a time. I wish you the best in your weight loss journey and I hope to see you in our private Facebook group!

Hi all!
I have had my surgery scheduled since August, but waited until November 17th so I wouldn't have to take too much time off work. I'm a teacher and am having the sleeve done just before Thanksgiving break. I am starting my pre-op diet this week and have been starting to have dreams about surgery and after surgery. I know this is anxiety, but I'm afraid to fail. Luckily I have a good support group and a good therapist. Did any of y'all have weird dreams? Do you have any tips for the pre-op liquid diet? I'm having my surgery through Kim Bariatrics, and I think it's a pretty strict liquid diet. Thanks in advance for any info you can share!

Mine is scheduled for the 17th as well! I start my pre-op diet next week and I've started having dreams about the surgery and pre-op diet. Anxiety is definitely setting in. I'll search for the Facebook group and ask to join it.
