Day 2 for me as well. Every time I feel the slight tinge of hunger, I drink lots of Water. I hope it gets easier for you. I've not had trouble yesterday or today.

My difficulty will come Friday thru Monday when I work 10 hour shifts each day. Pushing lots of Water when the RR is across the building. A big warehouse style building.

I am taking EAS Advantage, it's a soy base and I love the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, I have tried the unjury shakes too. Love the chicken flavor.

Are you able to make the Unjury chicken broth HOT? Like hot tea hot? I've been told to ask because some of the products that you would want served that way curtle. I want to get the Unjury Chicken broth but I'm worried it will be nasty. But I'm tired of all the sweet shakes :(

Yes you can ????, I heat it up for like 30 to 40 seconds. I put the powder with 8 oz of Water in one if those shaker cups with the little steel ball and after I hear it up I put the little ball in and cover it to shake it up. You can order them by packet or in a container and it tastes very good. You don't get chunks :) I really recommend it.

Mine was scheduled for June 11th. I found out last week that it is postponed. The doctors found a large cyst on my lung. I now have to have lung surgery before I can have bariatric surgery ????

What Protein is everyone drinking or using? Ive tried 5 or 6 different ones and realize I like the unjury chocolate splendor and strawberry the best. Any suggestions?

I love EAS vanilla! As far as powder. Lean Body chocolate and vanilla for ready-made and Any Muscle Milk ones. The Lean Body has now sugar.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
