Hi guys, is anyone having the gastric sleeve in Jan 2023?

I’m glad I found this thread! I had my Gastric sleeve done on January 8th. Currently on clear fluids and struggling to consume all 2 liters - but it gets better everyday ?

@tinalang Thanks so much. I hope you get your liquids in! They it gets better day by day!

I was the 11 th too! How are you doing?

Hi Everyone ?? I had bypass surgery on 9th January, currently on day 4 of blended diet. What a rollercoaster so far!! How is everyone else doing who has had their surgery so far? X

Thank you!! How is your pre-op diet going? What all are you eating and drinking?

Mine is either 3-4 protein drinks

Or

2-3 protein drinks with a small meal

I have a solid food diet. So I have been following that fairly strictly. I have a small amount of oatmeal in the am. Apple and cheese for a snack. Chicken veg and rice for lunch. Wasa cracker and pb for second snack and more protein veg for dinner
