I made my first one yesterday!! Soooo delish!!

Sleeve procedure on 12/17 eeek: 2 days!! I’ve really, really struggled with the liquid diet, but as much as I struggle I didn’t break down and eat solid food! Tomorrow I get the call for a time to report to the OR —and all clear liquids tomorrow no shakes or cream of chicken soup!! I made it this far, but damn I seriously want solid food!! I can’t believe it’s almost time!!!!!!!

At the end of my first day on the pre op liquid diet and sheesh, i was ok until after work. I’m doing my protein shakes and broth and had tomato soup for dinner but dammnit I’m just hungry. So of course I’m going through the “did I make a mistake?” am I just hangry?” How did you get through it? I know I just need to keep my head down and focus, but tonight was hard, really hard.

Are you allowed to have jello? And I know it's a little cold, but what about sugar free popsicles? Good luck!

Tomato soup is a probably a lot of natural sugars and carbs, which would likely cause a blood sugar dip unless there is some balance with protein. At this point each meal probably should have some protein to help keep you satisfied and balance out the blood sugars.

It’s hard! I am on day 4 and it is getting easier. I am hangry. I’ve just been trying to keep myself busy! I second a suggestion for jello. I can have sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles! They help break up the day and give me something to “chew” on.

It is extremely hard. Try eating some crushed ice. Good luck!
