I am on day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet the first 2 days were hell!!! Lol but honestly it's been a breeze since then..I lost 10lbs in 6 days. My doctor has me drinking 4 slim fast low carb shakes a day plus sugar free Jello Popsicles and crystal light..I dont like te chicken broth so I don't drink it...just get through the first few days and it will get better I honestly don't feel really hungry anymore or have super crazy cravings. It's become almost a routine now so u dont think about it as much

Lost 4 pounds already past two days whoo-hoo. If you struggle just think how pounds will come off and you will feel better about yourself.

My preop consists of HMR products which is like WeightWatchers meals not to bad tasting. I've read some having to take 2week liquids which sounds difficult I wonder why the different preop diets?

My pre-op diet is my hmr shakes too. My nutritionist was giving me a 2 week diet but then she recommend a shake/liquid diet. They are seeing better results with this diet better.

The shakes are not bad just tired of thinking of the shakes.

My pre-op diet is shake in the morning 3to4 oz of lean meat veggies salad and chicken broth shake for dinner. Why are all the pre-op diets different?

My pre-op liquid diet is 10 days. I am supposed to have a minimum of 5-6 8oz servings of Protein a day. I have been having Isopure, Oh Yeah, and Pure Protein Shakes. In addition to the protein I can have broth, low cal gatorade, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. On 10 day I can have Clear Liquids only.

I also wondered why everyone has diff pre-op diets. I am on a 14 day liquid diet. Doc says its so that it will shrink my liver and help him get to my stomach better. I drink 3 Protein Shakes a day. I'm also allowed sugar free Jello and popsicles. I blend chicken noodle Soup for dinner. I can also have crystal light. My only downfall is that I need to drink more Water.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
