The bone broth makes me nauseated no I'm struggling with the Protein Drink. The creamed Soup is much better. I'm worried I'm not getting enough Protein, in fact I know that I'm not. All the sipping takes forever to get this stuff down. Any suggestions?

It gets better! I am 5 weeks out and I struggle everyday, but I know tomorrow will be better. I still have days where I live on Popsicle.

I had surgery 6 weeks ago. I'm frustrated that the weight isn't coming off as fast as I thought. I'm down 30lbs. Am I over thinking?

I am 5 weeks out and 30 down. I think we are doing great!

This post just gave all my anxiety and second thoughts a ticket out of my head! Thank you so much!

I'm gonna preface this by noting that a lot of people will probably disagree with me about this, but Isopure Zero Carb really works for me. A 20 oz bottle has 40 g of Protein. They are not overly sweet. I pour it in a big tumbler with LOTS of ice and I find sipping it far preferable to sticky sweet Protein Drinks. They sell it at GNC. I like the coconut and lemon tea flavors.

Fair warning, a lot of people find it absolutely disgusting but it works for me.

I have had the advice to try it! all of my friends love it! and nectar.

Has anyone been told that they DO NOT have to do the pre-op diet? No one at my doctor's office has mentioned it to me and I just had a CT scan for other issues and it states that I have a normal size liver. Just wondering???

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver. Lots of people only have to do Clear Liquids the day before.

They do- but I can't seem to get a hold of her. She never returns my calls or emails.

Yeah, that's not good. IfyouI can't get a hold of someone before surgery think about after if you have issues.

She wasn't asking a question with a question she was simply stating that there is a lot more to your question that maybe you might want to rethink, I mean why go through all this if we can't maintain and control our diets. Maybe you should get some help from some of the many support groups. She had some good points and you shouldn't take people's advise so critically we are just trying to help each other out on this website we have enough people putting us down because we're overweight, let alone we hit on each other.

I am sorry I disagree, there was no helping in her statement.

Try sodium free broths and the Protein Shakes. I lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks.

I tried the Unjury chicken broth OMG that was like liquid salt. I have only lost 6lbs in 2 weeks, the bloating was so bad I couldn't even drink water! Everything is better now. I see the Doc on Wed. and hoping for the best.

What kind of pre op diet are you doing? I go to my pre op class in a few days and imagine I'll find out what I need to do then.

I am doing the Unjury Protein Shakes, I can also have sugar free pudding and sugar free Jello. Nothing interesting, but do able.

I started my diet a week ago and have lost nothing! The bloating is terrible
