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 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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
