Ok so I am still 17 day away from surgery and I Am already getting nauseous when I drink the Protein Shakes. I have been drinking them for about a month now because was having a hard time losing weight and doc put me on liquid/green/lean meat diet. Any suggestions as to maybe changing up the shakes?

Here is a couple ideas, blend ice into the drink and add some cold Water. It may be to think and high in protien. little more quanity but soomther going down. The other idea is to additional flavoring to them like Davinci syrups sugar free version or just regular flavoring extract like coconut flavoring. PB2 works too or just a small amount of regualr PB, do not need much to flavor it.

Hang in there our road about to get bummpy!

twinderful, have you tried taking Emetrol? its a liquid anti-nausea that I give to my daughter for car sickness. Its usually over by the tums and ppis and whatnot at the store. I also use sf Torani syrups in my shakes to mix it up, so that might help? 17 more days for us! The 20th will be here before we know it :)

I think you are lucky, the more busy we are the less we may concentrate on missing food! Try to think this is our final lap and we only have one more hurtle until we cross the surgery line...uh finish line. In a month this will just be a badge of honor that you survived and are stronger person for it.

Well I did it!!! Friday is my official weigh recording day, and I got my 100# medallion back!!!!
My High weight was 423 (long time ago) and today I was 321.6 so I have lost 100# before I have surgery!!! Which is on Monday. Not to shabby but getting a little flabby. I started the surgery Journey at 360# so I may make 40# loss by surgery date..Keep the prayers coming for me and my family.

Ok so it's been a little tough with the food situation since my surgery on Monday, but OMG I just got on the scale and I have lost 10# since my surgery!!! I am under the 300's!!!!! I haven't seen 299 in a long time! I have lost a total of 27 pounds in 2 months! I think that will get me through the next week and a half of soft foods.

Wow, I lost the same 10# the first week, so that makes 50# since I started surgical Journey. I too am pleased with the loss so far and yes I know that most people loose a lot in the beginning but I am happy now!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
