Hello my UK sleevers!

I am scheduled to be sleeved on April 14th. This is my time now to get everything ready for my surgery, and I would like to know what brand of foods and dietary supplements are you using?

I ordered my Protein from MyProtein and tasted it, happy with it! I read the American sleevers, and they have Crystal Light (I have ordered some but it's quite pricy here in the UK), what is the british substitution for Crystal Light?

What is that dietary supplement you could not live without? Where you get your Vitamins from? Sorry but I am clueless and I need help please...

Green eyed girl, Hi......

The herbalife shakes are fab. You can add so many different fruits to the high Protein mixture to change the taste. I've started having one for Breakfast and am due to start my pre op diet on 20 th April. They are so tasty and don't feel like they are a diet aid.

Just google herbalife and you will find your local agent to order from.

Hope your ok x

Thanks Peachy! I will try them out, as I am pretty sure I will get bored with my shakes soon, I need variety! I will search them to see how much Protein and carb they have.

What do you plan on drinking? I've heard loads of people are having problem with Water at the beginning, and I am not a big Water drinker anyways, but I am trying to find a good drink that is zero or close to zero calories and not carbonated. Do you have any suggestion?

Good luck with your pre-op diet, I am so glad I do not have to do that, but decided to start watch what I eat and cut back a lot 2 weeks before my surgery!

Hi Guys,

Peach flavoured low cal iced tea. It's not fabulous but it will add a little variety. Make sure it's chilled because slightly warm is gross.

A friend of mine mentioned green tea...... It is foul and I'd rather lick my windows on a rainy day !!

She also mentioned fruity teas. They smell delicious but tastes like perfumed washing up Water...yuk. Warm Water with barely a hint of fruit, not pleasant. I'd rather suck a fresh orange!!

Keep me informed I case you find an amazing alternative, I'm still trying.

Take care

Peachy

Oh my, how funny, lick my windows on a rainy day!!! lol

Yeah I feel the same about fruit tea, I would only drink it if it's ice cold.But still I feel a gross after-taste.... Green tea would be nice as it is healthy but I do not fancy green tea.

I am still trying :/ For now I have the CrystalLight, ready for aftermy surgery, I know they are delicious. I will keep looking for a UK alternative ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
