Ohhh! Your going to do great!

Tips: drink liquid protien not shakes in the beginning... Also you don't need to eat for the first 6-to year as long as you get Protein in that's what my doc always told me also I started shakes 1 month out Nd muscle milk pro series worked the best, the least calories, most protein and least sugars its 40 grams but I can only drink pre made the powder is gross

Wow! Great job! My surgery is set for November 12. I can't wait to get it over with and start toward the downward side!

Thanks for the tips! I'm a little confused. I hope you can help me out with this. You said drink only liquid protien in the beginning, not shakes. What would that be? All I can think of when I hear liquid protien is protien shakes.

Also, what is ND Muscle milk and where do you get it? Is that a protien shake or the liquid protien you are talking about.

Like I said, I'm confused. I hope you can help me understand the difference a little better.

Thank you. And you really do look FABULOSE!!!!

If you get Muscle Milk Light it has under 5 grams of sugar and it's not bad at all!

Hello i have a question. If i continued to just drink my Protein i really dnt have to eat?

I am finding myself not hungry and nothing satisfies me when i do eat.

I am 8weeks out. I lost 44lbs so far. My dr feels i lost too much too fast and placed me on a regular diet, lol, not working. I dont like food, as funny as that may sound.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
