Hey Everyone,

My Surgery is March 2nd. I start my pre-op diet on the 16th and I was wondering what everyone drank and ate and what do you recommend for the course of 2 weeks before surgery?

I recommend you buy single bottles of Protein shakes before buying a case. You don't want to be stuck with something you hate. Many people like the Premier Protein Shakes. I was not a fan. I prefer the GNC lean shakes (strawberry flavor). powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is also popular. I have not tried their shakes but the chicken broth was good. Also, you might want to find a greek yogurt that you like. One thing to be careful of regardless of brand is the quantity of added sugar. Some Protein Shakes I saw had tomes of sugar which is counter productive. Your surgeon's office should also have a list available of recommended Protein shakes. There are a lot of choices out there. Hope you find one you enjoy!

My favorite shakes pre-op were EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control, rich dark chocolate flavor. They are sold at Walmart and Target and were within the nutrition guidelines my nutritionist set for me.

      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.

      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! 😞
