Tomorrow is my surgery and here is the sample of the Clear liquids diet my doctor gave me. My friend who had the sleeve with the same doctor said it's almost impossible to get it all in at the beginning. I am also using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth so hopefully it will help getting the Protein in at the beginning because I am worried about hair loss.

I was never worried about getting in enough Protein or calories at the beginning. Frankensleeve would not tolerate ANY foods my 1st 10 days. I literally ate 1/2 sugar free popsicle per day that 1st week. And then I was only eating 3/4 can of Soup per day for weeks and weeks.

I figured I had plenty of calories stored in my fat to keep me alive for 6+ months! :-P

I did the best I could to get in enough Water, then protein.

Just do the best you can in the beginning, and as your new stomach heals, increase the amount of water and protein you're eating.

P.S. My hair thinned considerably around 6 months, but it came back with a vengeance a few months later. :-P

It's been 22 months post-op, last week I went in for a haircut and notice my barber using the hair thinning scissors on me for the 1st time since surgery - NSV!!!!!
