How are you guys (who are getting very close) doing on the liver diet? Are you drinking a lot of Protein shakes, or real food? I am newly appreciating no-carb foods like mackerel, herring, tuna that are so portable for lunch at work and camping.

I've been taste-testing various shakes and am gagging at all the chemicals and sucralose! Any suggestions? Maybe after surgery I'll start a line of shakes with savory flavors: nacho cheese, potato/broccoli, curry, miso, blue cheese, buttered popcorn, tomato/spinach, ranch, carrot... Not really kidding!

I've found powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor mixed with milk to be bearable. That's the only one though. It doesn't contain aspartame or other artificial flavors which is why I think I can tolerate it.

It is very exciting and nervewracking. I got my call this week, I am being sleeved on June 17th in Columbus. I wish you the best.

Does anyone feel nervous realizing how close their surgery is? Someone asked me today since it's 3 weeks away, was I worried. For the first time ever, I thought about it and got worried!!!

I can honestly say my anxiety is increasing daily. I have 11 days to go. My dreams are even starting to be about surgery. Last night it was that there were 6 people ahead of me and I never got taken back to the OR. I just want it to happen!!

Not true. That brand has sucralose (Splenda): whey Protein Isolate, Fructose, Cocoa powder (Alkali Processed), Natural Flavors, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Sea Salt, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Potassium Chloride.

Vega brand uses "natural" stevia but that tastes just as bad as the artificial stuff, to me.

Thank you! I hope that yours goes well too! I'm near Cleveland and my surgeon is Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir at Lake Health in Willoughby.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
