I craved green olives during the liquids stage and drank some of the brine. :-)

I stalled for about a month after the first two weeks and then started to lose again. It was frustrating!

I've had two so far. Not sure of the dosage. One was pre-op and the second was this Monday. I think I noticed more of a difference this time (post some weight loss).

My pre-op diet was:
2 Protein shakes
2 Protein Bars
dinner was 5 oz lean Protein, 1 - 3 cups of non-starchy veggies and 1 serving of a healthy fat.
Last day was Protein Shakes only.
I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks.

My week 3 stall lasted about a month. No kidding! I even gained a little. I have lost 45 pounds since 6/25, start of pre-op diet. Hang in there!

It looks great. :-)

You've done such a great job! And you have beautiful hair. :-)

I like the grape, orange and coconut flavored ones. :-)

If she was burning fat and eating extremely low carb, the smell could be associated with ketosis.

Yes, I replaced my energy drink expense with Isopure. Lol.
I haven't had an energy drink in 8 weeks. Giving them up was easier than I expected. I'm lucky in that I've always liked plain ice Water. :-)

I also make a really good Protein smoothie, when you are allowed blended fruit...
A scoop of vanilla Protein powder (I use the Body Fortress brand from Walmart)
1/2 of a frozen banana (I cut it into chunks before freezing)
A few frozen whole strawberries
Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Ice
Yummy!!

I really like the grape, icy orange and coconut flavors! Also, sugar free Popsicles. :-)
Also, I'm 6 weeks post op and still have one most days to get about 1/2 my required Protein.

Isopure!!

5 months since surgery and down 104 pounds. Yay

I took two weeks off. The first week back was hard, but I also have three small children. In hindsight, I probably should have taken 3 weeks, which is what was approved for my leave of absence.

I forgot. I had one appointment with a nutritionist. But it was over the phone and it only lasted 45 minutes or so.

I was surprised how good the Bariatric Advantage orange cream is. Especially because I had not heard great thing about their shakes.

Got it! Thank you.

I love your red dress! You look great!

Hi, all. I'm 41 years old, 5'3" and my current BMI is 35.4. I have hypertension and mild sleep apnea, so I was approved by insurance. I'm on day 11 of my 2-week pre-op diet and I've lost 12 pounds in the last 10 days. My surgery is on Tuesday, 7/9. Best of luck to everyone with July surgery dates. :-)
