How many grams of fat were you able to have? My NUT just told me to cut out fat. Sent from my SM-T217S using the BariatricPal App

The actual shake only has like 9 carbs. I was saying i had around 150 for the day. My surgeon gave me a plan where i can have a bar or shake for Breakfast and lunch and a small meal with 3oz of meat, salad, 2 low cal bread, and unlimited non starchy veggies. I'm just hoping thats not to many carbs, but i only had about 20g of fat lol idk... my NUT takes forever to call me back so I'm just doing my best.

Today is my 2nd day on the liver shrink diet. Both days I have had an average of 20 grams of fat, 2500 sodium, and 150 carbs... I am wondering if this is to much... the dietitian told me that fat was the main part to cut out but she didnt give me a number... I have been following the plan they gave me but I still feel like it maybe to much and I dont want my surgery interfered with in any way lol Thoughts please?

The weight loss center I go through has patient advocates who is the go to person for collecting stuff from all my drs and submitting my stuff to the insurance... since I smoked cigarettes they made me sign a no smoking contract since it can cause problems after surgery they wanted to me to sign it to show my commitment to the surgery... i didnt realize that not all places do this...

I am waiting on my approval from insurance... During my psych evaluation he asked me if I had smoked marijuana before and I told him I had but I hadn't smoked that nor cigarettes since I signed my no smoking contract back in October and that i should be drug tested but my advocate said that his evaluation was inconclusive and didn't say if I would be a good candidate or a bad candidate... i gave my advocate a copy of a recent drug test I did for work and she said she was going to write her letter but if I hadn't head from her by Thursday that means that would have to go to a review board? so I'm just wondering if anyone else has been through this too because i am so worried they will deny me...

@@395Ron I didn't know they made bariatric protein products? Where can I get those? I just got kroger brand lol

I am just starting my journey but I am trying to prepare myself. I'm going to have "liquid days" to prepare for the pre surgery diet.... I am just wanting some advice and maybe some of your favorite things to have on those days? Thanks! ????

Welcome! Hopefully they won't deny you... maybe just put you behind a month or so. Good luck!

I love the Wyler pink lemonade! It only $1 for an 8 pack. I've been struggling too but the best way I have been doing it is just making myself drink it and alternating (water, diet soda, water, powerade, etc) Soda and caffeine are going to be the hardest thing to give up! Even filtered water?

Congratulations! Good Luck!

HAHAHA I laughed so hard the second I read this! It's so true! Us obese people ask "what did you REALLY do?" ????

I'm 5'10! I am just starting my journey... looking for it to be at the beginning of next year. This time last year i was 466 now I am 411 and that was sooo hard! Lol but I am SUPER excited for my day to come ????
