I can imagine.. I'm definitely worried about not being able to really eat anything for such a long period of time.. but I know it will be more than worth it. How long before the surgery do you need to be on liquids, and how long after?

I updated some of my profile, been meaning to do it anyways :]

I had to send you a message, because when I saw your name I had a "wait, what?" moment. My name (maiden) is Stephanie A Gibboney.. I seriously thought for a second, when was I on this site?! haha. Anyways, random, I know. I see you had surgery very recently, how did it go? I'm in the beginning stages of trying to start my journey. :]

Congrats on the surgery! Best wishes!

Good luck tomorrow see you on the losing end hope all goes well

Welcome to the board and congratulations on your decision to have the gastric sleeve.

I have a few suggestions. For a clear protein, I suggest Protica Profect 50. It is a whopping 50 grams of protein in a 3.2 oz vial Protica - Detail

For a really great tasting protein powder, I suggest Max Protein. You can purchase at GNC or online. SEI Pharmaceuticals

This blog - theworldaccordingtoeggface She posts some great recipe's and suggestions.

I was on clear liquids for a week, full liquids for another week, puree'd foods for a week, soft foods for a week and then slowly moved on to regular foods while still including the previous foods into my daily food intake. Just don't get ahead of yourself. Take small sips and then small bites. Don't be in a big hurry to eat whatever you want.
