I am getting sleeved on 02/27/14...anyone else have the same surgery date? I'm excited but feeling pretty awful from Pre-op diet.

I've only lost 12lbs since surgery on 2/28 but My body shape is changing.. I can tell I have lost several inches. I have been on a full liquid diet and am allowed special K and bran cereal along with oatmeal and cream of wheat. I can have yogurt and a cantaloupe smoothie. However, I seem to mostly be eating special K with almond milk. I too hate the protein shakes and have not been drinking them. So sick and tired of sweet tasting things especially chocolate flavored crap. Every other day I will have mashed potatoes (I think that's why I am not losing as much).
