I've been low carbing for the last 3 months during my required 3 month supervised diet. It definitely helped with my sugar cravings. I tried a bunch of different Protein Shakes. I've lost 34 pounds. I'll have one week of liquids prior to surgery and of course, nothing after 12a the night before. I'm 54, so the saggy skin thing worries me too but I would consider plastic surgery if I was really bothered by it. We'll see. One step at a time, right?

did you get approved?

On the other hand if you have a problem with heartburn and gerd prior to surgery make sure your surgeon knows that....I certainly understand the thought that by-pass is more drastic but you don't want to have sleeve and end up having to have it revised to by-pass because of gerd.....just talk it over with your surgeon and let them advise you based on your individual needs and condition. best of luck to you!!!

I am currently 6 wks post op and I only take in about 500-550 calories a day so yes 400 is actually correct especially the first couple of weeks when you are only drinking limited amounts. At first I was only able to drink 1 oz at a time, then I was up to 2 oz by day 3. Right now I can drink 4 oz of my Protein shake. My NUT says to take a sip and than place the cup down for a bit because you still need to take 15-20 min to "eat" your "meal" even if it's just drinking liquid.
I use the yogurt to take my meds with. I was originally using Motts organic applesauce but it didn't hide the flavor of my crushed pills.
Here is what I ate based on NUT recommendation:
Bariatric Advantage Protein Shake - Fave flavors: chocolate & Orange Cream
Jello sugar free Jello or pudding
Dannon Light & Fit - No fruit on the bottom. The regular version is thinner than the greek version.
unjury non flavored Protein Powder
Crystal Light
