Any Dec 13 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Mine is similar. I have 1000 calories per day but not limited to shakes. I guess all drs are different. Have you looked into any brand of shakes yet?

My surgeon requires nothing but liquids (Protein shakes). Typically, a 10 day liquid diet is required prior to surgery but for me the surgeon made an exception. 20 days liquid diet! :blink:

Yeah, unfortunately I really dislike all Protein Drinks. I will likely alternate between Carnation and Unjury. They are the two brands that I can stand the most. It is going to be a long month until surgery. I start liquids the day after Thanksgiving.

I should start with you. I was honestly thinking about doing all liquid anyway... To help prepare. I have read other posts on here that some members have enjoyed the Premier Protein chocolate shakes hitch have 30 grams Protein. I have never had them before though.

I know it sounds miserable, but I also know it has the best results for losing pre-op weight and most importantly, shrinking the liver. The surgeon is anticipated extra difficulty due to scarring so wants as much room to work in there as possible.

See and that is exactly why I was thinking to do a liquid anyway is because of the shrinking of the liver. She said mine looks ok from the ultrasound but it is always better to be safer and make it easier for the surgeon when they operating.

That was my thought and why I didn't even try to argue with him. If he says it will make a night and day difference in the difficulty of the procedure then I'm going to do what I can to make it easy.

      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! 😞
