Wow that's interesting that you don't have to do any preOp. Ok that will be here before you know it!

yea he said he didnt see the point of putting someone on a diet before weight loss surgery

however I think its mostly bc I'm 18 and my insurance

Oh gotcha! I wonder why some are different when high Protein, low fat, non-starchy veggies shrink your liver just fine?

What food funerals did you throw? I haven't had caffeine in MONTHS and don't drink much either.

Good luck!

I have just been over eating by eating the full portion at restaurants and eating ice cream and Cereal and stuff. I just stopped caffeine again today. It doesn't keep me awake and I don't get a headache when I stop, but I like the taste of coffee and diet soda - both of which I had stopped month ago and started again!

Why surgeons' instructions and protocols are so different drives me batty. It's like, don't they do clinical trials to determine which way is actually better, like every other part of medicine? Isn't there evidence for what is better??? I work in clinical research and I'm used to there being a proscribed treatment course that is used at all reputable hospitals. But maybe that's only true in oncology.

My surgery is August 31st but I figure it is close enough to track progress with September? Maybe? About a week to go, I am down 19 pounds from my first surgeon visit.

Hi all, my first time here, my surgery is scheduled for September 13th I was told only a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and nothing after midnight but otherwise eat a normal diet, is this typical?

I am adjusting my diet starting today to include a Protein Shake and healthy meals with my daily Vitamins.

Has anyone else had the same directions from their doctor and where you told to avoid caffeine?

Exactly the same as me. I’m doing the same. I’ve lost 6 lbs in a week. Obviously some of that is Water but it’s not nothing!

Hellooo everyone. So I had my Sleeve on 20th August. And im now Day 9 post op. Im in London Uk. Ive got to say it was a big shock to my body when your used to eating and drinking whenever you want and also big shock psychologically as your body has never had restrictions. I did go in hospital as I became dehydrated not being able to drink as often as I did which made me feel dizzy unwell fatigued. Also constipated aswell. My blood results are all normal so If i manage to keep drinking a sip every 5 mins( Aiming 1 litre a day) i will go home xxx

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
