Whew! The struggle is real. I’m finally scheduled for sleeve surg on Feb 6! Anything I can’t do without when I get home? I have broth, protein water, shakes, vitamins. Any suggestions!

I cant help with your question since I have not had my surgery yet but I wish you all the best!

Congrats! Water and vitamins! For me I was thirsty a lot but had problems with water intake! Broth saved me it counted as my liquid intake as well as teas. I had a problem with protein my body can’t tolerate the shakes so I opted for protein drinks instead of shakes. But always take your vitamins and protonix if you get those when you’re sent home


Congrats, and best wished on a safe effective procedure:)

Congrats and best wishes on your upcoming surgery! I'm one week out and a sippy cup might work, but I've also found that a tervis-type lid that slides open only so much has really helped me sip sip sip. When I have a bottle of water, it's too easy to take a bigger glug.
