Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I am currently scheduled for Sleeve surgery on July 9th and have lost 11lbs since i started the process just over a month ago.

Today I start my Pre-op diet of only protien shakes and 1 salad a day... Ugh... Not sure how to do this! All I want to do is eat at this point.

Well again Just wanted to say Hello!

Thanks!

Andrew

    Welcome and congrats! This is going to be awesome for you :)

    Drink a ton of water. You will be less hungry. Give it a few days and the worst sensations of hunger and desperation will pass!! Preop diet is the worst, but so important :)

    The higher the protein in your shakes, the less hunger you feel. It really does get easier within a couple of days, so hang in there. Most of us have been through this and survived, so we know you will too. :smile:
