Breathe. Then call your NUT and ask for specifics. Stock your house with delicious cream Soups and liquids you are allowed. Clean the house. You won't want to deal with vacuuming post op. Take the time to write your post op self a letter now. Open it in a year. Write all the feelings you're having and why you're doing this. Write down every thing you want to do once you lose weight that you aren't able to do now. Most of all be be gentle with yourself. You've worked hard to get here and you deserve all the happiness that is coming your way. Stay connected here. Good luck!!!!

I like U njury chocolate. I order it online and also buy the single serving packets for travel and work. As for clear Liquid Protein for pre op diet I used Isopure but I didn't like any of them. Ensure makes a clear that's slightly better tasting but Isopure had the most Protein.

Hi. I'm in AZ too. I didn't go through your surgeon, I went through True results in Scottsdale. I have read and learned so much from your doctor's web sites. Just read, read, and read. I personally like premier Protein shakes. I pick them up at costco or sam's club. The hardest part for me was the 2 week pre op diet. I don't know how I did it... but I did lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks. Good luck on your journey. I am still learning. I have had 5 fills so far... Just follow the rules as best as you can. Best wishes!

      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! 😞
