I am not setting a goal weight! At our clinic they use the term "best weight " that is when you are eating in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and your body stops losing....that way you will never feel disappointed if you don't reach a certain number on the scale.....every lb lost is a victory for me so I don't ever want to feel like I failed Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

I can eat a whole banana, my meal sizes are half cup and I don't always finish it all...shepards pie was only about 1/3 Yup mostly potatoes lol Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Our program is 2 weeks liquids...anything high protein preferred, milk, cream soups, Greek yogurt, high protein oatmeal made runny with milk, 1 week soft foods such as cottage cheese, poached or scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, if you .ca mash with a fork it's good...then at 3 weeks start on real food 1 at a time and see how it feels Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Your prep diet sounds kinda like mine except I have to do 3 weeks of ensure high protein....ya it will be hard but getting the surgery will be well worth it! Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon strongly cautioned against any travel for at least a month after and by then you are back on regular food so your energy should be back up....we have brought food and drinks into the park before with no issue so shakes should be fine....and we also kept a cooler in the car so we could go out and get food and drinks so you shouldn't have any issues Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Ya 12 weeks would be killer but if I had to to get surgery I would find a way to make it by...but so thankful I don't have to !! Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Ya I was happy Too! Lol but besides the liquid diet they don't ask you to lose any weight prior to surgery Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Here 3 weeks liquid is a minimum for liquid diet they do up to 12 weeks so I was very thankful for only 3....we are instructed to have 4-6 high protein ensure and clear liquids with less then 5 calories.
