It's different for everyone. My taste didn't change at all! :)

But I agree - don't overstock cuz you just won't know if you'll have that problem til after surgery!

Good luck!

How about replacing Breakfast with a Protein shake -- it's a start!

That's what I was told to do and I'm 2 months pre op... Lost 10 pounds so far.

I had three weeks of liquid post-op, but no pre-op liquid diet. I just had to loose a certain amount of weight before surgery.

I dont recommended to start early but I do recommend to find the Protein Shakes and any other liquids your going to drink ahead of time. Another tip that helped me was always keep your hunger under control. If I start feeling hungry I drink a Protein Shake right away and lots of Water after. Im on day 5 and so far its been easy. Day 1 was the hardest!! Good luck!

A test run would just prepare you for what is in store. I was just curious to see what the liquid diet would feel like. But the first couple of days are the hardest so doing that one day will be hard but at least you know it eventually becomes okay.., I think back to the day that I did my test run which is seven days ago and I Would do it again just so that I know what the different shakes taste like.

The mistake I made in my first couple of days was that I was just drinking the shakes it is a must to drink Water water water water water! It helps keep you fall between shakes

You are looking at 2 weeks of liquid before surgery, 1 week clear liquid after and 2 more weeks of full liquid before you are able to eat again. That is a total of 5 weeks for some it is 6 before they can eat again. Don't rush it and put yourself through extra weeks. It is not that great.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
