Hi,

I will have my surgery on February 18th and I just started doing mostly shakes and the ones I am using are great! THEY are the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes and you can get them on line. The chocolate and Vanilla are great. How was the surgery? I am a bit nervous about that....I hope the you like these shakes.

Thanks for the tip will try. Surgery was great i had a lil discomfort the first 3 days but nothing major.. gas pains were a bother but walking is the only thing that helps. Lots of weight loss im down from 277 to 251 and im only 11days post of so its all worth it. Good luck on ur surgery its definitely life changing

I am day 13 postop from VGS and I am also struggling to get my Water and Vitamins in every day. I can do string cheese and cottage cheese and soft eggs which is helping. I made salmon and have done the tuna of course with a little light miracle whip my dietician's idea :) and that has been fine. Refried Beans with a little mozzarella cheese. I have done crockpot dark meat and white chicken in cream of chicken Soup, one time with just low sodium chicken base, and once with onions And mild peppers just for flavor and then puréed it. Any ideas would be great. A little Protein Powder in my fave soup progressive light potato bacon and cheese has only 3 grams fat. Down down 23# since surgery jam 19th.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
