I had the sleeve on Monday. My intake consist of a mixture of Water and crystal light accounting for 40oz of liquid. I also have about two table spoons of Jello, Popsicle and about 10 sips of beef broth. I am totally full with that. Should I be getting more in?

I had my surgery on a Monday and on the first Thursday all I could handle was some chicken broth, G2 lemonade and about 2 oz of Protein shake. The next day I finished the shake and had 1 oz of ricotta cheese as well as G2 and a little chicken broth in the morning. It gets a little better each day.

Dont expect much in the first two weeks. Work on getting some Protein and fluids.

Yes Protein don't forget the protein, it is so important. I'm three months out. When i was first sleeved I would have Protein Drink, then Water, protein drink then water. When I got bored and had to have something else I would eat popsicles which were so good. But definitely drink all protein required by your doctor. But remember if you don't get enough water you may get constipated so drink the water. Good luck you can do this!

Make drinking the priority. You don't want to get dehydrated

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
