This calculator was encouraging to me, because even though the scale is not right now, it kinda gave me numbers to dream about.
Of course there is no universal thing for all of us, and who is to say it is accurate lol, but it helped ease my anxiety now, thinking about the long term.

Congratulations on your surgery! I am 9 days post-op sleeve with no regrets. I hope you continue to do well

I'm 43 and 5'5". My weight before starting the pre-op diet was 272.6. I am having surgery on the 21st and my current weight is 259. My BMI is in the 40's.

Well it sounds like you are all doing well on your liver shrink diet which would be my first piece of advice. I had very little pain post op and after my dr commented twice on how well I did on the liver shrink diet I asked the NP if the two were related and she said that getting the liver out of the way definitely makes the surgery easier which means less bruising and stuff so yes that did help. The second piece of advice is to not compare yourself to others during your recovery or weight loss phase. We are all here to cheer each other on but every one of our paths will be unique. Don’t get discouraged if you are a slower loser or have more stalls than others. Trust the process and the weight will come off if you just follow the plan.

The BariatricPal Store carries a huge selection of Bariatric friendly Protein Soups and Broths at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/soups-bouillons-broths.

1 week until my liquid diet starts 😁
I am so excited! Even for that!
Anyway what brands are you guys using as far as Protein Shake? Other stuff?
I bought the Equate High Performance Protein ready to drink shakes in chocolate, vanilla, latte, and caramel.
I also bought the Two Good yogurt in assorted flavors. sugar free pudding cups, and all the varieties of sugar free Jello cups.
On my list of need to buys is; broth and flavor packets for Water.
On a side note, I found about 4 kinds of Jordan's Skinny syrups at Bealls Outlet store for $3.99 a bottle, just in case yall have that store in your area and are interested. I hear the syrups are good for flavoring shakes and etc.

I'm scheduled for June 6th.
