Hello everyone! So I’m scheduled for sleeve surgery 2/24 and I’m wanting to make sure I’m prepared for the “full liquid stage”. I was told day 3-14 I need to be on full liquids like broth, cream based Soups, etc. however I want to know how did you guys manage protein/fluid intake? I was advised to get about 48-64 oz of Water in and at least 60g of Protein daily. They said it was okay if I didn’t meet that goal right after but I do want to do as best as I can to try to. Any suggestions? I feel like I’m going to be sipping all day and all night to meet this goal in the beginning stages lol. It is crazy because I have a family member who had this surgery and didn’t follow nearly any of the rules as far as meeting goals, dieting etc unfortunately so I cannot ask her questions like this. Thanks in advance guys!

Hey surgery twin :)!! We got this! I’ll be sure to check up on you the day of!! I’ve tried everything as well; keto, low fat, low carb, etc and they would just make me less motivated because I wouldn’t see much weight loss. Due to trying to prevent hereditary issues, I need this push! New beginnings are coming, good luck on surgery!!

Hey hey! Glad your surgery went good and so happy for you!! That also makes me more excited! Keep us updated if possible!! Now I know also not to panic if I feel any of those things after surgery as well :)

My surgery date is 02/24. I started my preop diet on 2/10, well I fumbled the first 2 days with one meal but followed everything else (protein drinks etc). After that I’ve been on track since. I think I was honestly having a hard time to adjust those first 2 days, I felt so empty not being able to consume food but I actually feel amazing now on this Pre op diet journey. I’m nervous about the actual surgery operation but I’m ready for the change and outcome! I’ve struggled with weight my entire life and like I tell people all the time it’s not as easy for everyone to lose as everyone’s body is different also with genetics coming into play. Good luck everyone we got this!!
