Surprisingly no i didn't. I thought I'd have to so i bought some. Was told this time no food for two days, clear liquids only before surgery. That alone had me *going* look tmi i know but it's true.

I had to do 2 weeks Pre-Op diet of mostly liquids and staying below 500-700 calories each day. Yesterday and today I have had to be on clear liquids, sop that only gets me to around 80 calories each day since I can't have sugar, carbs, fat, etc.

Tonight I get to do the awesome cleanse (TMI I know as well), but not sure what it will accomplish since I haven't had anything but liquids. lol.

Here are some words of wisdom. For sleeve, it will be difficult to get all your liquids in at first. It is critical that you do, otherwise, you may become weak and lethargic. Best way to do it is sip throughout the day.

As you progress through the post-op diet and finally get to the soft food part of the diet, you may feel that you do not get full. Be patient because you won't feel the full effect of the sleeve until you begin eating more dense Proteins, then, holy smokes you will know beyond the shadow of a doubt what full is.

Last and most important is put all your concentration on healing and following the progressive post-op diet for the first month or so and don't worry about weight loss during this time. Healing with the sleeve is much more critical at this point to prevent potential staple line leaks. Once you've been released to eat a normal diet is when your concentration turns to weight loss. jake

No I did not either I had to do 6 days of Clear Liquids only.
