thank you I'm doing well just can't get those 48oz in.
Work up to the 48! I have to get 64 and right now I get about half that

I have a cup that keeps track of each 8 oz that I drink and when all eight lights are lit up signalling that I've reached my goal of 64 oz. It even plays a congratulatory melody. It also beeps if I haven't taken a sip in an hour. Google MyHydrate ifinterested in purchasing one. Really helps me stay kn track.

I'm scheduled for 7-21 !! I'm beyond excited, I started the process on January. Today is my first day on my 2 week liquid diet and I found this place online because I'm looking for support.

I'm in my recovery room which turned out to be private anyway. Tomorrow I'll try and post a play by play for everyone, but just checking in to say I'm all good !

My surgery date is 7-21-16. I made it through the first day of the pre-op diet. I had a cup of coffee this morning but not a second one. I also didn't have my usual Diet Coke. I have been yawning all day & can't wait to go to bed! I thought this would be worse but I made it through today! Yay me!

Greetings fellow sleevers - pre and post!

I'm starting my list of items to pack for the hospital and thought some of you might have additional ideas.

1. myself

2. chap stick - dry lips

3. pillow - helps getting up and is a buffer between stomach and seatbelt on the ride home

4. GasX strips

5. A book

Any other ideas or suggestions? I'm all ears :)

Some additional ideas from a YouTuber:

Gentle bra

Light comfy clothing for ride home

hair ties

Makeup

Shampoo/conditioner

Laptop/ipad

Scope/toothbrush/paste

Goodmorning everyone! Sending good vibes and prayers for everyone who has surgery today and this weekend! This is the best decision we could have made for ourselves . I'm now 3 days post op and so happy to be waking up in my own bed! I was able to meet my 64 Fl oz and 40 grams of Protein yesterday . If you guys are looking for a good protein that will help you meet your liquid goals as well.. I would recommend Isopure as it's 20 fl oz and 40 grams of protein all in one bottle! They have pretty decent flavors and are on sale at GNC (Buy 3 get one free) . Blue raspberry is my favorite . Sorry if I'm super excited but I can't wait to see where all of us are in 3-6 months!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
