Sorry, to keep asking questions lol but what type of Protein Drink?

You should start losing...my pre op was almost the same 2 shakes and a lean cuisine for dinner one week then one week 4 shakes a day only no meal ...

How many days have you done your pre op so far?

Wow that's a long time on that diet...I would contact my surgeons office for suggestions.

You could try switching to another type of diet.

I was on a diet the same as this for 12 months and seeing a dietician every week. I only lost 15 kgs (30+ pounds). I should have lost a heap more and it was really expensive, about the same as the out of pocket for my VSG.

The reason I didn't lose is because I wasn't sticking to it, because I was bloody starving!! You've been on a really restrictive diet for a long time which is hard (read: impossible) but are you sticking to it? because I couldn't!

All the best,

Deano

It was hard and I mean hard for me to do it for two weeks. I can't imagine 6 months.

It is worth it! Once you get surgery it will be easy to eat the right amounts and not feel hungry. It's an amazing tool.

You should maybe give yourself a mix up for about a week.

Maybe healthy eatting for 7 days then back to shakes and salads.

Maybe do this every other week?

Mate there's hard and then there's setting people up to fail.

I admire your commitment. You will rock your sleeve!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
