Thank you mmmesser. I think I may have misunderstood him, but I'll ask again Monday after surgery. I think like most have said it's only temporary until I heal.

Thank you, Cindy. This is good feedback and I appreciate it. Good luck to you, too!!!
I'm almost 3 years Sleeve post op and I mainly drink coffee with high protein, low calorie milk and sugar free coffee syrups with sweet and low.....daily and up to 6 cups in a day....no probs. You would start out slow though and see if your new baby stomach can tolerate coffee and any other new item.
For the last two years I've taken bcaa"s every day during /after working out have drank whey protein and made many fun things with the protein. I have maintained and fluctuated between 162-168. No matter ow hard I exercise or how clean I eat I can't get lower. I started to think that the whey/ bcaa"s might be the issue so I stoopoed for three weeks and haven't noticed anything different other than I feel more flabby so back to it I go! Everyone is different and has different reactions. Best of luck to you
WHEW! I LOVE that first cup of coffee in the morning and since I work 2nd shift on occasion (not often) I'll have a cup around 8:00P. Thanks for responding so quickly.

My pre op was 5-6 protein shakes a day. Variety was the key for me and they are filling. Also sugar free jello....I made my own...more flavor options and cheaper. They taste really good too....I was surprised. Cherry orange and lemon were my favorite. Sugar free Popsicles have been my best friend throughout so far (I'm 4 weeks post op). You are unlimited on your liquids (jello Popsicles broth...beef is the best IMO but don't get low sodium...yuck!) I had projects lined up to keep me busy so I didn't think a lot about being hungry. You got this! Its do with it! Not only the results but for the surgery alone. Purpose to shrink the liver (and prepare for post op eating) so easier to maneuver around to get to the stomach. Lower chances for complications. My surgery was less than an hour (vsg). Hang there ?
