My program also said it wasn’t the caffeine but the coffee, no coffee of wither type for 1 month pre op to 6 months after.

I see a little difference. But I am only like a little over 1 month post op. 40 pounds down over 130 to go woot woot 🤗🤗

FOUND out i can get effervescent potassium on script so it dissolves in Water :D

That is amazing. Congratulations!

Ok, for the protein, look for Proteins that have ONLY protein isolates, protein concentrates contain a lot more lactose than milk does, isolates have little to no lactose.

Muscle atrophy takes weeks to months, it's possible what you are seeing is visceral fat loss making it appear as if it's atrophy. Speaking from personal experience on this one, my muscles appear to have gotten weaker with my weight loss, however that's just not the case, I'm stronger from working out, there is just less fat in and around my muscle making them *appear* smaller.

Have you looked into other Vitamins? Or another nutritionist?

What surgery did you have?

And how's that Water intake? Water is so important to weight loss and healing it's not even funny how important it is!

Do not worry or beat yourself up, cheats happen, just do your best to stay on plan. Not all pre-op diets are the same and most are not "set in stone" if you are having issues, reach out to your team and ask them if you can change things a bit to help you stay on task. Most teams would rather make small changes to keep you focused than not and risk having you go totally off the plan. it's hard, but it does make things easier post-op. Keep focused on why you want the surgery, keep that in mind at all times, it'll help you when you are feeling defeated. You have not lost until you give up.

UPDATE: Yep, I was definitely overthinking things
The dietician was so nice and very helpful. We talked for a good hour and a half and the best part is, she's down with keto! She said her main focus right now is to get me prepared for life after surgery like working on weaning off caffeine and mindful eating. Also, these dietician visits are free and unlimited even after surgery which is flippin' great! My mind is at ease now

14 hours later and the M.o.M. worked! The bottle says within 6 hours... well, it took 14 but I am okay with that. So much smoother than the liquid magcitrate and no painful side effects. Thank Jeebus!!!!

Kicking butt at the gym!
