  1. Hi Sleeve Family I'm fairly new on here - but so happy to be here in a community that I can share with and learn from. My surgery is scheduled for 9/27 - in two weeks! I'm excited, nervous and a little scared. I started my 14 days liquid diet yesterday and it was ROUGH. My mind is playing tricks on me - that I'm HUNGRY the entire day. It's crazy, because I could go an entire day and not feel hungry until late in the evening - but yesterday morning I woke up - I actually smelled food cooking in my house (my hubby can't cook to save his life - so it was all in my mind) lol. Anyone has any recommendation for high protein shakes? I bought the one from my surgeon's office and it's like drinking diluted milk water. Just to drink 6oz of it, took me about 10mins, because I felt like I was going to throw up. I use to drink Glucerna Hunger Smart as part of my pre-diabetes 2 plan and those are yummy - but I can't drink those now - because of the high carb and fat content and getting my liver down/clean. My surgeon and nutritionist had Premier Protein, Slim Fast High Protein and Premier Protein Clear as alternatives. Anyone here tried any of these in their pre-op liquid diet regime? Thanks in advance for your feedback/guidance.
  2. Hi Hope things are a little easier for you. I realized that by day 7 (which I think today is your day 7?), I was not feeling hungry. My struggles were more mental, than physical. I don't think calories are the main focus here, they just want you to adhere to the protein range requirement through the shakes and your water intake. Focusing on that, I believe the caloric daily intake is around 600. That's what I've been getting. You can do it. I promise you, it gets easier. Today is day 13 for me and it's like nothing. I've also lost 22lbs so far during this preop liquid diet phase.
  3. Hi Sleeve Family Apologies for the delay in response. Got a little busier than usual over the last couple of days. Attached is a little video with my update. 😊 Snapchat-347003494.mp4
  4. Hi Everyone

    I'm so happy to have found this space. I am 3 weeks out from my surgery and I am both excited and nervous at the same time. I need this help for some many reasons, biggest (besides being a live :)) to carry a baby.
