Keep it simple and stay busy. Your surgeon should be giving you a list of what you can have. Good luck!

I was sleeved 10/21 and so far the liquid preop was the worst part lol. The first 3 days are rough but once u pass the withdrawal headache you will be fine. I was so scared to fail but just take it one shake at a time ...good luck to u guys ..it's worth it!

What should I buy other than Protein Shakes to get me through this tough week ahead?

I was told sugar free Jello and popsicle

Most people do but my surgeon didn't allow those till the night before surgery since I was told only Breakfast and lunch shake that day then clear till midnight. Unlike most I was allowed full liquids as soon as I got home and pureed food starting day 8.

Pre-op diets can vary significantly. Follow your program and stick with it. Not only is this to help prepare your body for a safer surgery - but it also helps to prepare your mind for post-op. Learn to deal with the head hunger and cravings now - it will make post-op easier. Take it one day (or even one hour) at a time. Have things you can have handy at all times. Don't go too long without having something - or you'll be more apt to grab something easy and off plan. Most can have broth - I suggest making your own or at least flavoring boxed/canned broth (boil with onions, celery, carrots, garlic, salt & pepper, paprika, etc). Find distractions if you are having cravings - go for a walk, clean closets, read, etc. If you are hungry - have something on plan. Stay strong - it's worth it in the long run to stick with the pre-op diet.

      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?
