What a dedicated lady you are! Thank you for compiling a July list!

That is a Major milestone!!! My highest weight was over 400 also - I understand what having a "2" at the beginning means. Congratulations on your hard work and success!

I second mari.beth's comments! Thank you for this thread! I am a pescatarian and will have gastric sleeve surgery on July 6 (am in a two-week liquid protein shake phase as I type). I have been researching high protein, low carbohydrate options for post-surgery life and am grateful for any suggestions! I can't drink dairy milk or eat dairy yogurt because of allergies (otherwise I'd love to eat high protein Greek yogurt!). I would love to find dairy free options that are lower carb and higher protein. I can still eat dairy cheese (at least my stomach tolerates it before surgery). I'd love to know how everyone is doing and get any other tips and suggestions from people!

My surgery is July 6th. I start all liquid at the end of this week - five protein shakes a day. I am also excited and nervous. How are you?

You are doing the important things...being honest about the struggle and actively working to figure out how to make healthy work for you. Good for you!
