So I am on my two week pre op diet...and I have not cheated once and I'm on day 8...I have to drink 3 Protein Drinks a day along with cream of chicken sugar free pudding etc.... So the directions for the Protein Shake says 1 scoop per 8 ounces... And I just realized a scoop is only a half of a scoop... :(

I was wondering if anyone else has done that and what they think my surgery is April 30th and I have been through hell for a year with this and would be really sad if they wouldn't do surgery because of this.

Your fine.. its all about shrinking the liver. I had my surgery Jan. 31st I did cheat a few times on pre-op very difficult. Congratulations on making it to day 8.. keep up the good work. It will all be so worth it.

Ok, cream of chicken sugar free pudding, sounds gross! ;)

The scoop issue probably isn't going to be an issue.

I like that you are concerned about following instruction to the letter. That is a good sign, you have a good attitude.

You will be fine and if you keep up the same diligence you will succeed.

For the Unjury protein... The instructions said use 1 scoop for 8 ounces of milk... I just thought that was an awful big scoop so I looked at the facts and it said 1 scoop was 27 grams which is only 1 ounce of powder which would only be half of a scoop...

1 scoop is 1 scoop if you are using the scoop that comes in container. I have a feeling you are mixing an oz of weight & an oz of volume. They are not interchangeable.

So you are saying the scoop in the container that it came with i fill it all the way I'm not sure what I did it just seemed like a lot.. I took a measuring cup and measured it in it was 3 ounces

Yes, the scoop that was in the container is the proper measurement. A measuring cup measures volume, the Protein powder is measured by weight. If weighed 1full scoop on a scale you would get 27grams. Keep in mind you'll need to subtract the weight of the scoop itself (I'm guessing the scoop is about 7-10g).

My surgeon doesn't even make u do the preop diet. Like others said to shrink the liver but its so the tools used in surgery can move it out of the way to get to ur stomach. If too heavy/fatty u might have to be opened up, larger incision & recovery time. This rarely happens with my surgeon and the cases it did were the grossly obese >500 lbs. I think ur good & def attentive to detail which will be of great importance after!!!!! Gluck!!!

      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!!
