How many calories are you taking in a day and how many days post op are you?

My starting weight was 227. I did 7 days of lover shrinking diet and one day clear liquids and was down to 221.8. Today,(6days post op) I am 216.8. I havent lost any weight since yesterday. The last 2 days I'm taking in around 600 calories per day but 320 of that is protein shakes.

I am only 6 days past surgery and I've only lost 5 lbs. Maybe this is normal, but I expected it to be more I guess. What has your weight loss journey been week? Especially the first month?

So, coffee is my weakness. They told me to cut it out during my pre op which was a week and I did. I am 4 days post op today and I had my first cup. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. They told me the reason they tell you to cut out caffeine is because it's a diuretic causing you to urinate more and you need to keep all your fluids

My diet consists of 7 days of a liver shrinking diet and 1 day of clear liquids. Should I do a diet prior to that too?

Are you eating healthier now before surgery and eating smaller portions or just eating everything you can because you know you won't be able to later?

I have mine on May 31st! Super excited! I have to do 1 week of the liver shrinking diet and then 1 day of clear liquids.

I am scheduled for surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Lopez on May 31st. I'm super excited! But also, nervous..
