My surgery is next Monday! Started my 1 week diet with a vanilla protein shake. Not too bad but it's early. Looking forward to my journey and wishing the best for everyone involved in this process!

Congratulations! I loved the pre-op diet in retrospect. In addition to shrinking the liver, it's a fantastic start to your pre-op life!

The first few days can be rough, but I kept telling myself, "Fat is stored energy. I will not starve!" And it got easier and easier. And I lost 25 lbs between pre-op and post-op diets. Fantastic!

It was so strange from eating 3-4 cups of food in a sitting to just having Protein shakes, broth, or popsicles. But once out of surgery, I didn't miss the food at all. It was like night and day.

Once I was on purees...everything tasted wonderful. I quickly learned to love the small portions.

You're gonna love your sleeve!

Me 2 good luck.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope I can lose that much. It's only a one week diet with shakes and a little bit of fruit/veggies. It's been tough but I'm committed to this life changing decision

Surgery is on the 14th so I just did my first day of liquid diet. Today was ok and relatively easy wishing the other 6 days goes as smoothly as the first.
