I'm going to have to try that. Gas and regular BM's have been my biggest issue. Weight loss has been irregular and slow but I am sure the weight will go eventually.

Post op 2 weeks and four days. I had 11 pounds gone but some how Gained 2 pounds today. What the hell I am still in full fluids and have April 600 calories a day what is wrong with me ??? So discouraged

@@tabithacool66 my nut had her surgery 4 years ago, and she says its better for the weight to come off gradually; that way, you have less loose skin to deal with. Concentrate on building muscles to fill where the fat used to be.

@@DevineMissM, you will start to get regular after about 2-3 days of using the Miralax. I use the costco brand, it is cheaper. The main ingredient is polyethylene glycol; any store brand you get should also work.

My nurse said miralax can dehydrate you. So becareful. She said to drink prune juice. That's what I've been doing and it works for me. I am 17 days post opp. I also have a half of a cup of Decaf in the am.

Everyone is different I guess. My doc ok'd the miralax. I have to drink 48oz of Water each day. Sleeved 8/28. Eventually, I will increase the water to 64oz.

I was sleeved on 8/25. I had my first post op appt with the surgeon yesterday. everything is healing well. for the most part I feel almost normal, I'm able to get around pretty well. I have lost 12lbs since surgery an pre op loss of 10 give me a total of 22 so far. I couldn't be happier with my results thus far! the doctor said I could start pureed this week and the soft the following week.

if anyone has suggestions on pureed recipes I'd greatly appreciate it!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
