Hi all! As my surgery date for gastric sleeve approaches quickly (May 30th) I thought it might be a good idea to get some tips and tricks from people who have already been through it. I'm having my pre-op appointments on Wednesday then start my liquid diet on 22nd. Luckily I only have to do it for one week but I'm worried about not being able to eat for that week...how did you guys make it? Any pre-op/post-op tips? What were some items you were happy you had after your surgery? What items did you wish you would have had? How long was your recovery?
Newbie having surgery in 2 weeks.

The liquid diet is the worst, but once you get through that you will be fine, I did it for 2 weeks before and i survived, those protein drinks really do fill you up so you won't be hungry, so that is a plus, I hope by this point you have found a protein drink you like, the premier drinks are what I had, I liked them, and I still eat them for lunch now, even though it has been since December that I had surgery, normally only during the work week, they are quick and easy to grab and go and they have 30 grams of protein so that is a plus, good luck on your journey, we are all here to help you
