Oh.....I also tried the Atkins pre mixed Protein Shake and it was pretty good. My doctor said I could use 2% milk to mix with the Protein powders so I will start trying the Unjury and chike this week.

I still have to do the cardiology and pulmonary work up next week then last appt w/nutritionist on 15th and blood work and final doctor letter on the 19th ! Then, hopefully, the insurance will approve and surgery will be the 15th of April. Getting less nervous and more excited every day !!

We're the same day! Unless I have to move mine due to insurance.

I do have a 2-week diet, but it's not full liquid. I believe I have to replace one meal a day with a Protein shake. I can definitely live with that. I'm sorry you have to do all liquid!

I wonder why there is such diversity between doctors/geographic location ? I may have to talk to them further about the "all liquid" scenario .

Good question. I know some doctors have their patients do pureed food after the liquid stage. My surgeons/nutritionists don't want you pureeing food. They want you eating "mushy" food (i.e. - soft veggies, mashed potatoes, eggs, etc.), but not actually pureed food. Which, quite honestly, is fine by me. Also, some surgeons use drains and catheder's whereas mine doesn't use either. I don't really know why each surgeon does things differently.

Lucie my surgeon told me that the reason some doctors make you do the all liquid diet pre-op is so that they can see your liver better when doing the surgery, my surgeon and other surgeons dont' feel the need for that, but some do I guess...Good luck to you I hope you get your surgery date soon..My date is April 2nd, same as you Bebee..

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
