the first few days are the worst...I think about day 3 is when I tapered off and was okay... your body is going thru a detox... drink something hot, that helps a bit... you'll get thru it!

Good luck and congrats!

I am drinking 5 carnations (no sugar) w 5 grams of Protein added to it (injury) w 2% milk a day. It's very satisfying to real hunger! The head hunger ( what I think is just used to filling my mouth when ever I want! Takes a lot of Will power! I just sip Water. Get all the tempting food out of your house! Box it up. U can do it. May 1st is my VS day!

I'm on day one of 2 weeks. I think I missed my coffee the most. I'm just really emotional now that this is actually happening. I also have PMS so that isn't helping matters. I'm trying to get creative with my shakes. I'm sure I'll be tired of looking at them soon enough. I just have to keep my eye on the prize and muscle through it. Hang in there and know you are not alone!

I am on day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet. My surgeon is only having us do liquids for 48 hours though.

It's getting a little better as night falls snacking tonight will be hard not to do since I don't go to bed until late. Day one is about complete. I also read a website how to change shake flavors and such by adding sf ff pudding mix about a table spoon per scoop of Protein. The choc. W choc. Pudding mix is great you can also add the dehydrated PB2 Peanut Butter not sure about before surgery though. And lastly I made a strawberry shake w sf ff cheesecake pudding mix it was great. We're all in this together.

      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! 😞
