I hated the pre op diet. I got so tired of the shakes but I powered throught it. I won't lie I did cheat a little especially the first week. How long is your pre op diet?

Hi, I have cheated to and catch myself cheating even more. All the surgeon said I have to lose 10% of my body weight. I started at 263.8, 263.6, 258.6. But now I feel I gained weight back.

I just can't get back on track, and those shakes omg are so gross LOL.

You could try these, possibly? I've been trekking out to costco for them, but someone said they got them at Sam's and lo and behold, I just discovered that my Sam's now carries them! YAY! They do have a bit of an artificial sweetener aftertaste to them, but they are the easiest ones for me to get down. If you need to cut the sweet, they can be watered down a bit with Water or almond milk. That DOES increase the volume, though...and these are pretty little...you could get through them fairly quickly. And then there is Monster Milk...50 grams of Protein per serving, which is HUGE. You can get that online or at The Vitamin Shoppe. It's a powder, though...I have to put it in green smoothies...I can't stomach powdered Protein by itself.

interesting but there is no way for me to get to any of those stores, all I have near by is stop&shop and shaws.

and I haven't even started to take the Vitamins, my dr.said I should start taking them now. I guess so they can be in my system before the surgery.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
