You guys are lucky that you were able to eat solid good for your pre-op diet.I was told a all liquid diet of 3 adkins shakes, 2 high Protein slim fast shakes,Clear chicken broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free popsicles limit 2.That was my daily meal everyday for 2 weeks!800 calories a day it came out to!I didn't cheat at all.First week was hard cooking for my family and smelling the food.And by second week the food smelled gross!But i did it and lost 19 lbs in 2 weeks before my surgery.Different doctors different diets i guess.My other option was the medifast diet.I couldnt afford $700 for 2 weeks of food.My family would of starved!Lol

$700?? I paid $188 for 2 weeks worth of medifast /healthwise. It tasted and looked like dog food, except like 3 things. I still have a lot of or left. Your preop diet sucked! Lol

      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! 😞
