First time here. I am scheduled for a sleeve on August 17. I guess I have no idea what to expect in terms of weightloss, changes in my friends, diet, digestion, whatever. My current weight is 419 lbs and my goal is probably right around 210 - 220. I am a father of two (11 year old boy and 4 year old girl) and am married.
I am worried about the all liquid diet - I start it on August 3. Two weeks pre-op and the 4 - 6 weeks post op. How was that time period for everyone? How did you handle awkward social situations with nosy extended family wanting to know why you weren't eating? How did you handle food at home? I am principally the cook in my home - I have been preparing myself to prepare meals without eating any of the meal - IT'S HARD!
Anyhow - any advice you want to throw my way would be very much appreciated. I am eager to lose weight and get my life back. Also would be interested in any info on side-effects of being on the liquid diet and side effects post-op; both short term and long term.
Thanks!
