I agree, I lost 9lbs in 10 days on my pre op liquid diet. I was only allowed to drink sugar free carnation instant breakfast drinks with skim milk up to 5 times a day. Chicken/ beef broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. I could only have the Protein shakes the first 9 days, on the last day, I was only allowed Clear liquids. The first 3 days are the worst but I actually got to a point where I could not even drink 5 of those protein shakes a day. I would check with your nutritionist first!

It is sad to know their are physicians out there that continue to be unsupportive when it comes to weight loss surgery. Thankfully I have had nothing but a supportive team when it came to making my my decision. I am so sorry to hear that others continue to get such poor advice . Please make sure you take the time to go to a reputable center of excellence class and learn about your options before letting someone scare you into making the wrong decision for you personally. I did a lot of research before making my decision to have gastric bypass surgery and I am only 3 weeks post op, and already I know that it is the best decision I could have made for myself. Educate yourself, gift yourself that gift.

Well you both make me feel better. I too am 3 weeks post op. I have learned to wait a couple o hours before even trying to put anything in my tummy in the a.m. I feel great until late afternoon and then I get really behind and cannot keep up with everything they want me to eat and drink. I am having a very hard time with the texture of puréed meats. I just have not been able tolerate any of them. They sit in my tummy forever. I have lost 28 lbs in 3 weeks so that feels good but I am hoping I can do a better job of getting my protein in. I also am have learned that I cannot tolerate lactose and we finally found a protein shake and lactose free milk that is working for me. And, it tastes good too!
