So pre surgery Ive always had success with low carb. My surgeon promotes Keto. Ive done both or I guess Ive done lazy keto post op. Im right at 6 months out. Im wanting to swap it up and try something new to help my body stay on the losing side of things. Ive recently started working out more and the weight isn't coming off as quickly, actually gained a pound this week. Ive recently read Chris Powell's Choose More Lose More for Life and found that Im pretty close to following his Turbo carb cycling already. I just need to get a little more specific with meal plans. Just looking to see if others have tried carb cycling? opinion? results? any extra info?

same here. I think it comes from all the protein shakes you drink during your liquid phases. You couldn't pay me to drink a milky sweet protein drink right now. I am only three weeks out. Having to find alternate ways of getting my protein in.

same. exact. thought. here. I also had surgery on July 25th, I started soft foods today. I felt like my body was in starvation mode while on liquids. I too, have lost 24 lbs and not another lb since. As the advice above reads, I have been told to stay the course and remember its only been 2 weeks. When have you ever lost 24lbs in two weeks before surgery!!? My incisions are completely healed yet so that limits my exercise, but I know I need to pick up the pace with my walking! Congrats on your weight loss and hang in there!!

I have this too under 2 of mine....I also had it under my C-section incision and it went away over time.

Same here sleeve in the 25th...the gurgling is the worst part. Praying that ends soon. Today is the first day that I have even been close to reaching my fluid goal.

So tell me (I’m 4days post op) when I start to add back in protein on Monday’s and then progress from there.....does your stomach still make all these gurgling noises while you attempt to drink?! Those noises is what make me almost not make my fluid intake...

Same here Day 3 post op- not anywhere close to water intake goal. I can’t add protein until day 6. Praying this phase passing quickly. And I still haven’t had a bowel movement...TMI

Never even thought about the infant ones. What dosage do you use for an adult?

so I waited until 2 days prior to surgery to start looking for the gas-x strips that Ive read so much about. It appears that these are not made anymore. Not available on Amazon, ebay, or any other website. Do they make something similar or liquid form? Im sure if I spend money on something I will most likely not need it.....
