I'm scheduled for July 25th for my gastric sleeve. Is anyone else scheduled for the 25th and/or near there?

My question(s) tonight is-- for those who have already had the surgery done and/or are one the clear diet, what did you consume? My surgeon requires being on a 48 hr clear diet before surgery. I know I could have Jello, chicken broth, cranberry/apple juice, basically anything clear. Does anyone have suggestions of other things I can consume?

What I really need suggestions for is my post-op diet. What are the best things to consume post-op that are filled with Protein? How long was it until you could even try a solid? I know everyone is different, and responds differently to foods, but I'd love to hear from others. I met with the nutritionist, but she didn't go over much regarding post-op other than I should be taking sips of Water every 15 minutes.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. I'm new to this site, and I'm still learning to use this app. This may sound like a silly question, but how do I check my private messages? Someone messaged me last night, and now I can't find it to respond lol.

It's going ok for the most part, but now I'm having problems with having to run to the bathroom like asap.

Me too! In the beginning I was constipated, now it's the other way around.

First week of diet was high Protein and low carb. Next week is the liquid diet. So not looking forward to it. How about you?

@@SwampBillies I'll definitely be praying you'll be able to be sleeved at the time of surgery. At first, I wanted lap band surgery, but after talking to my surgeon, he said he really doesn't perform them because although it is the least invasive, it has a high complication rate and not a high success rate. Did you lose weight with the band? Congrats on your 9 lb loss! I haven't weighed myself because I'm scared I'll get discouraged. I plan on weighing the morning of surgery lol

I did initially lose about 50 pounds with the band.,....but after having complications I had to have it loosened up and then of course I put 25 pounds of that back on....then dieting on my own , I'm up, I'm down...you know how it goes....I wish I would have done the sleeve the first time....And I truly considered it but a good friend bragged on her band so much that I thought it was the right choice...I should have followed my own instincts...oh well...I just hope this is the last time!
