On Friday I got a call from my surgeons office to schedule my pre-op appointment (yay!) She told me that I need to start having Protein Shakes every meal first day was fine second we went to a Water park a little harder but OK. Today my in-laws came into town and my husband wanted to take them out to eat this has been so hard and emotional I hadn't realized how much I love and miss food. Thanks for listening I just needed to vent.

I know it's difficult in the beginning but you got this. It's beneficial in the long run.

It gets easier! After day 3, you're good. Just keep you head up and eye on the prize.

Remember this is one small step towards something you want very badly. It is temporary and you will survive it. You are strong!!!

Shakes only? My doctor said for me to follow the Atkins phase 1 diet and use protien shakes. As long as you stay away from the bad carbs, your liver will shrink. Look at the Atkins web site and follow the phase 1 part of the diet. You don't have to count calories, just eat protien and fat.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
