I've been on for a week and a half. I'm using 2 Celebrate shakes a day and 1 Protein (100-120 g) and 2 cups veggies at night.

I haven't been posting here lately, been a rough couple of weeks (unrelated to WLS). Lost my job unexpectedly which sucked, but I started my own business and my wife was able to find work so things are looking up.
And most importantly, as of this morning, for the first time in probably 25 years or more, there was a number 1 in the first spot on the scale! Down exactly 115 lbs in just about 6 months, amazing. Had my doctor's visit today and they said that the goal is to lose 70% of excess weight in 1 year, I'm at 80% down in 6 months, so they're very happy (and so am I!)
Just felt like sharing!

Thats so great!

i have had my first day of pre-op diet today. it went really well until I got home and ate all the things I'm not allowed because I was starving hungry! Like seriously i wolfed back cheese and a can of tuna how random is that?! I think the next 2 weeks are going to be seriously tough for me. Awesome to hear youre doing well though

I was sleeved in March 17,2017, it has been a roller coaster of why did I do this to myself, then I have moments when I step on the scale and thank the lord I did this.

Today marks my one week post gastric sleeve surgery and I could not be happier! I am down 12 pounds this week. I am doing well getting 64 ounces of Fluid in a day in reaching my goal of between 30 and 40 g of Protein. I have been drinking the Premier Protein shakes which are 30 g of protein and only 1 g of sugar. And then also I live on chicken and beef broth because I love it! I eat a lot of Popsicles and Jell-O neither of which are sugarfree base on my physician stating I needed a little bit of the sugar for the carbohydrates, as I am a diabetic. Or at least I was a diabetic before the surgery we will see how it goes. 12 pounds can truly make a huge difference as you can see from the picture below
The first picture was taken in a week before surgery the second was taken this morning!

I'm based in New Zealand and we're fasting slightly less than 12 hours and its been relatively easy here to get the water in as from 5:15 pm til 5:45 am I am able to drink water. So I have a glass every hour until ten and I have two when I get up in morning with shake before starting fast.

Salams jene786,

Based on what my doctor and nutritionist said. I have 2 shakes a day (Celebrate with trim/skim milk) and 1 meal of 100-120 grams of Protein (chicken, seafood, Beans, eggs, lite cheese) and 2 cups of non-starchy vegetables. I haven't had any vomiting or other problems with it thus far. Alhamdulillah.
So I have a shake for for suhoor, then have a little bit of protein to Breakfast with a date. Then have meal about 30 mins later with rest of protein. Then have final shake 3 hours later.

Salams everyone,

I'm also a Muslim and started preop diet on Friday. Surgery June 30th IA. Fasting but just flipping timing for shakes. May Allah make it easy for you all. Wassalam

I don't know why but I didn't expect to meet anyone of my culture or religion who was going down this path! Let alone with surgery dates so close to mine!!
