I was FINALLY approved for the sleeve!! I am happy but nervous/scared...............Any tips advice? Scared about the week prior of no eating but liquids, etc. Figured I need to go tomorrow for Vitamins and Protein stuff. Any suggestions on any of these??/

Thank you all so much!

Congrats!!!

For the pre-op diet don't forget sugar free Jello and ice pops. Some surgeons will also let you have chicken broth.

I've been buying all my Vitamins and Protein through amazon.

For protein I like Premier Protein, it's 30g of protein in an 11oz shake, it's really easy to get down right after surgery and it only takes two shakes to hit your daily protein goal.

Congrats on your surgery date. Be happy that you only have to do a week of no eating, my surgeon is making me do two weeks. I am on day two and am dying of hunger. I will second the Premier Protein, that is what I am using and it does help for awhile. I also get all of my Vitamins on Amazon. Good luck to you, you will do great.

I drink muscle milk and its it really good it only has 3carbs 2g sugar 130 calories

I was told to get whey protein powder isolate and that I would have to put a spoonful on my food. Other than that the others here have given you pretty good advice. I ordered my vitamins from bariatricpal one of the gastric sleeve vitamin packs. I pretty much though wanted to say congrats though!

For my pre-op diet I was supposed to do five shakes a day using Bariatric Advantage meal replacement powder mix. They were so bad, just the smell of the powder would make me nauseous. I don't think there was a day I was able to get all five in.

Thank you all so much!
