CONGRATS ON THE LOSS! How's the taste? Tolerable? Do you exercise?

I haven't exercised while I was on the liquid diet I've been really busy working extra hours and gettin things set up for my leave.... my job is very physical so I guess that plays a part. The muscle milk lite is really good actually it's surprisingly sweet and doesn't have that yucky artificial sweetener taste. The slim fast low carb however wasn't the best lol I got chocolate and vanilla..it wasn't horrible but you can definitely tell its low carb and low sugar it leaves a bit of a after taste in your mouth but it was drinkable!

I mix my muscle milk lite with 8 ounces of skim milk instead of the Water so it's one scoop per 8 ounces of milk and that is 190 calories

I drink 2 muscle milk shakes and 2 slim fast low carbs a day no order

Thanks for doing this post. I have only been to my first appointment with my surgeon, so I still don't know how many hoops I will have to jump through for my insurance. I have been trying to decide which would be the best shakes to try because I can't have chocolate or caffiene. I wish you ladies the best of luck!

I HAD TO SEE: PULMONOLOGIST, CARDIOLOGIST, UPPER GI X-RAY, CHEST X-RAY, NUTRITIONIST, sleep APNEA TEST, QUIT SMOKING, PROVIDE 5 YEARS HISTORY O WEIGHT PROBLEMS, AND LOST 10-15lbs! I BELIEVE MOST OF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR MY SURGEON, BUT I DID IT! MY INSURANCE APPROVED IN A WEEK

The best high Protein Shake I have found by far is Lean Body on the Go Bananas and Cream- no aftertaste at all.

I was not required to do the liquid diet either (just low fat) but I did decide to do it for a week prior to surgery. I had two Protein Shakes, two Greek yogurts, and one Quest Protein Bar a day. It was good practice for after and helped get some more weight off.

My spouse likes the muscle milk, but I didn't care for the taste. I prefer Boost high Protein rich chocolate. Get variety packs of Jello. The same flavor will get old quickly, plus you will need to have some stocked for the day after a fill, etc. As far as Soups, buy a fine strainer and strain soups. It has a much better flavor than plain boullion cubes. Just watch the sodium! Good luck!

      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! 😞
