I did the slimfast high Protein shakes. They were actually pretty delicious. I still do a shake for Breakfast. During the liquid diet, I did 4 shakes and lived on chicken broth, sugar free Jello and ice pops. You'll get through it, just try to stay positive :)[/quote

My nutritionist told me not to drink slim fast cause the tend to add weight. I use the chike Protein Shakes and the vanilla and chocolate are very good.

I am not hungry when I have a Protein Drink or make a shake with Protein Powder. Actually since pre op I cannot remember being hungry. Keep busy, work on a craft it something to keep your mind off food. Add doing something that makes YOU happy

I only had headaches for a short period. They were horrible but they passed. Once I was on mushy food, they stopped.

My surgery is on Nov 19th, all of you have really helped me know what to expect. I am almost there 3 more days. ???? A little scared but you all help me not to let the unknown paralyze me with fear. Thank you.

      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! 😞
