I have no medical issues only thyroid. That's so weird that I need all these tests done. I wonder why?

I plan a procedure at True Results also. December 6. Think it will be good to do it before the end of the year. .

Wow! Can't believe they are starting the diet before a date. December 2 would be wonderful! I am penciled in for Dec 27th pending insurance approval. I hope to hear something this week. Is your diet all liquids or can you have some solid food as well?

I do have my approval. Lucky for me, the whole process was really fast and easy. I will be on an all liquid diet starting a week before.

I believe my doctor does a two week liquid diet. That is actually the thing I am most nervous about. They said once they get the final approval from my insurance, I will have to come in for all my dietary instructions.

I'm to have 1-2 Protein Shakes a day and 1-2 lean meals a day. No fats. I can have green veggies and 1 cup of fruit. No carrots or bananas. I was shocked. I was expecting an all liquid diet. I got this!!

Wow! That's great! Sounds much easier than all liquid. My understanding is the liquid diet is to shrink fat around the liver. Strangely enough I was just diagnosed last week with a fatty liver, so I'm sure the 2 week liquid diet is in my future.

      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! 😞
