So I've been on preop diet for around 2 weeks and my sleeve is scheduled for the 14th. Getting weary though from eating the same thing. Ugh. It's week is gonna be a long one.

Nothing terrible its not a liquid diet. I usually have a shake in the morning and one for lunch and I've been eating 2oz. tuna with 1oz. Light mayo on a slice of toasted rye with 2 cups steamed broccoli or carrots with a cup of strawberries for desert. If I get real hungry during the day I have a Greek yogurt 0% of course. Maybe I'm just getting anxious and impatient.

Also? You're going to wish you could eat this stuff when you're on post-op liquid diet ;) just look at it that way :) Just trying to spin this in a positive way ;) good luck!!!

Sorry, the above link is for an extensive list of shake recipes. maybe changing up the shakes would help.

Also, Soup is good because it has Protein and there is such a good variety out there. My pre op diet consisted of 2 shakes per day and one serving Soup. The variety really helped.

When I was on the preop diet, I blended my lunch shake with ice to make a sort of frappuccino - gave it more volume anyway.

Hang in there, you're almost there!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
