May 8, 201511 yr My surgeon's office has a whole store of high protein low fat low carb foods. We had to buy 14 days worth of food. It's 800 calories a day. It's been ok so far... I think the weekend will be tough because we have some parties to attend. So far during the week at work its been fairly easy to ignore what other people are eating.
May 8, 201511 yr Author That's good. I'm on 2 shakes a day fruit in morning. Veggies afternoon and a sensible dinner. I've been doing pretty well. Yesterday though I was pretty weak. Felt better after I had a chicken breast!
May 8, 201511 yr I would LOVE some fruit right now!!!!! I had a horrible headache the first 2 days. I feel better now but still hard not having my fruits and veggies and CHEESE! Glad this part is only temporary and I can get back to my preferred proteins after surgery.

Glad this part is only temporary and I can get back to my preferred proteins after surgery. I hear ya! I luckily didn't get a headache but I salivated over ever food I seen. I took a nap when it was too overwhelming! I'm glad I'm over the hump! Have you joined the May/June sleeves group on Facebook?
May 9, 201511 yr I haven't. I'm on one for people who go to the same doctor as me but I haven't looked for others yet.
May 10, 201511 yr Author It's nice. My doctors office doesn't have a huge online presence so I was looking for something! If you decide you want to join the lady is lessofjess and you can tell her your sleeve date and email and she will send you an invite to the group! Good luck to you!
May 11, 201511 yr I am having mine done on the 19th as well! I am now on a 1200 calorie 2 week diet. The weekend was quite tough following it but I am back on track now! Good Luck to you!
