I'm worried I'm at a standstill. I lost 6 pounds right away and now nothing. I'm just curious how everyone's preop diet went.

It seems like every Dr. has a different pre-op diet (tell us what yours is), and weight loss is highly individual. I lost 14 pounds pre-op.

It is three Protein shakes a day for 14 days

And what day are you on? Most diet have high weight loss early on because you are changing the amount of sodium which then dumps a bunch of water. And different people loose differently, this may sound strange, but I only usually only loose weight every other day, very seldom 2 days in a row.

Hey there I am on day 5. I was really surprised I didn't lose anything. It makes me wonder if everything is going to be a failure. I do everything I'm supposed to do and nothing happens.

You lost 6 pounds in the first 5 days and you think "It makes me wonder if everything is going to be a failure. I do everything I'm supposed to do and nothing happens."???

Maam, I don't know you, but I am not sure what you expected but I would really examine your mindset going into this surgery. The band is a tool, but it isn't a miracle cure for being fat. This is going to be a long, hard journey.

What concerns me is I have to be on these shakes and they have wheat and dairy in them and I'm intolerant to both. I just hope it doesn't affect my preop outcome. Usually I swell up because it is like an allergy.

Try using protein powders that contain whey isolate, like Unjury. I'm lactose intolerant as well. I tried Unjury, Not only did I feel good afterward, it tasted good as well.

Thank you. I will look into that.

If you are allergic to the shakes, don't suffer in silence go back to your Dr. and tell him. I am sure you aren't first, and you are going to be using added protein for awhile after your surgery.

Yeah but I said I would try what they recommend
