Hi I'm two & 1/2 weeks out from surgery. At time of surgery I was 223. So far I've only lost 16 pounds, 207 lbs. I'm on my liquid diet & I gained "2 lbs" was 207lbs now 209lbs. I drink powerade zero, my stomach isn't tolerating water. I do get my soups from Olive Garden, pot belly, & panara bread. I'm shure there not the best choices but it's only two Tbls, twice a day & my stumach has always been finicky so if something actually sits well I eat that. Also my protein drink is called core power, which I love & only 100 cal/20g protein but there's 11g sugar. Could this be why I've gained weight or stalling weight loss? please let me know.

I am so afraid of hair loss, so I'm going to try the premier, & at the hospital where I got my surgery they have ungery so I'll give that a try too if the premier doesn't sit well. It's so hard when my family eats dominos pizza & McDonald's & subway, Culver's & Arbys. Sometimes I'm tempted to take a slice of dominos & lick it. But I don't, I'm a good girl. But the temptation is so hard. Ugh, I find it so hard with all these foods I used to eat & love smelling up the house. I'm 3weeks now & I was told one protein drink a day but it just seems odd when were not getting protein any other way. Has any of your Drs. or nutritionalist said any different ?

Mine said two a day or at least 60 grams. I'm only 4 days out now and only managed to get down an ounce or two of premier yesterday.
