Hi. I am being sleeved in June, and I would like to lose some weight before then. I don't have a pre-op diet (except protein and veggies the week before) I was wondering, if,I start doing a shake (shakeology) for breakfast and lunch, and then a sensible dinner, would I be ok? (Not dizzy or lightheaded) I am 275lbs, 45 yrs old and I have a physically demanding job. Any suggestions???

That sounds good, 2 shakes then a sensible dinner. I would start taking multi vitamins now if you aren't already. Also start practicing sipping and chewing slowly, that's will make a big difference afterwards.

Thank you! I am DEFINITELY going to need practice chewing/eating slower. I'm a very fast eater.

I am in my pre op diet now and I was put on a 5 shakes a day with two small meals for lunch and dinner with as much broccoli and veggies I can eat (except corn, peas, potatoes) so I pretty much snack on one small cuccumber with nothing added as a snack thru out the day.

I was told using a straw increases the gas in your stomach. I don't use a straw.
