I wish you well I am on day 4 of my 3 week liquid diet. I am scheduled for May 3rd.

It is not to bad. The Protein Drinks are thick, don't really like Jello but better than not having it. I like the Spiru-Tein Protein Shakes. Many flavors to choose form and they are about 21 grams of Protein so 4 a day and I am good and pretty full to.

your protein shakes are thick? i mix my whey protein with milk and blend. not really thick though....am i doing it wrong?

I miss mine with Water and ice, I don't think you are doing it wrong. I know that many doctors require a clear liquid diet right after surgery, so you could not use milk or most shakes. But it all depends on what your doctor tells you.

I'm going in the 7th!! I lost my 5%..and then I cheated two days ago... :rolleyes: I had my final clearance by my primary, and met with my sergeon yesterday. He asked me if I wanted my sleeve tighter because I am short and very small framed. Any one have any input on this?

I'm on day 6 of a 2 week liquid diet ~ 2 Protein Shakes and a sensible dinner. It is HARD!! I posted a video on YouTube (jmcbribe) about my progress. Surgery will be May 1st @ 730 am Eastern time. Im also having my hiatal hernia repaired at the same time so I expect to be real sore and gassy. I have the gas x strips and will be taking 2 prior to surgery. Anybody else on the 1st?

Hey Hun I'm on the may as well and will most likely have a hiatal hernia repaired. So we are having pretty much the same surgery. What are your stats im 24 years old, weigh 286, height 5'7. I'm on strictly liquid with a salad and fat free dressing. Why are you taking the gas x strips before surgery

So happy, excited, can't wait that long. Its a start of a new life for me dreaming to get back into a medium again.

So long 3X never to see you again.

Hi D1! I'm 34, 252lbs and 5'5". I'm allowed 2 shakes and the sensible meal which I try to consume for dinner but before then, the shakes, Italian ice, Popsicles, broth are not holding me at all. They recommend the gas strips prior to surgery to help with the gas afterwards.

      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.

      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! 😞
