I started off strong with the pre op diet consisting of the 3-4 protein shakes per day. I had lost a total of 16lbs sticking to the diet. However I went off the diet and gained 10lbs back. I had no idea that if you gained any of the weight back you would be required to start over. So now I have till August 1st to lose the required 10lbs or I can not keep my surgery date of August 30th. If anybody has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

I was using nectar strawberry mousse and bariatric support chocolate' date=' but that one, if you pre-made it, it ended up more like pudding instead of a shake. The Nectar has lots of flavors that are awesome. It's about 45 for a bug tub of it and each scoop has 23g of Protein. I was doing one for lunch as a meal replacement and had 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and for dinner I would have meat and veggies and I would have "snacks" between them, which would be peanuts or almonds, and I also got 64oz of Water or a sugar free beverage in every day. It sounds like a lot, but it worked! I set reminders on my phone because my job is crazy, but it helped me keep on it.
