Hello everyone!

So tomorrow is the big day for me! I’m having my gastric sleeve surgery. I’m definitely both excited and nervous. My surgeon wants me on a full liquid diet today. I thought that meant I could have broth but apparently I can’t! It’s just strictly protein shakes! I’m so bummed because I was really looking forward to having some broth knowing that it’ll keep my stomach full tonight. I know I gotta prepare myself for the surgery but I was just curious so to why I can’t have broth? Did anyone else have to have strictly protein shakes?

I had to have strictly prescription shakes the last five days....they were vanilla anchovy flavor. Seriously! God, they were bad! The other nine days I had regular shakes and clear liquids that included broth.

Best wishes on your surgery for a safe effective outcome:)

Stay the course!!!! You got this and it will pass so quickly. Good luck tomorrow!

I’m drinking the premier protein vanilla shakes. They are good I didn’t have a problem with the taste. It’s just drinking them for breakfast lunch and dinner make me want to vomit! It’s way too much for me lol but I have to follow doctors orders. Thank you so much!

Thank you! You’re right I gotta follow through!

I have 3 premier protein shakes for 2 days. I agree, breakfast lunch and dinner gets old. But, prepare yourself - there's more protein shakes after surgery! You can do it! And after surgery, you can mix in broth - I'm having bone broth for dinner. Best of luck on your surgery!
