I am 10 weeks out and I can honestly say this is the best thing I have ever done for myself! It hasn't been a walk in the park everyday, some foods my stomach hates now but I know it's just part of the process. I am down 55 lbs so far. It amazing to see the scale go down consistently.

I took 6 weeks off but didn't really need to. I felt a lot better after 3 weeks or so. My main problem was just being really tired.

I agree. I am very happy I did this & I feel so much better. Congrats on the weight loss.

congrats on your success! :)

Thank you for sharing! I am still waiting for approval, but I cannot wait to be on the other side. I also intend to take off 6 weeks, even if it is just to get my mind wrapped around the eating, drinking and Vitamin taking schedule. In my job, I tend to be dragged to meeting after meeting, without concern over "did I get a break or lunch" today. One day I told my department manager I wasn't going to attend one of the meetings, because I didn't get my lunch. She said....I never get my lunch, it's one of the sacrifices you have to make to be a manager here, (my doc would not agree). So, at least I will be able to have a Protein shake or something in a case like that. But you can probably understand why I want the full 6 week.s I need to de-stress too. And Congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration!

That's amazing. I am in the beginning stages myself and I can't wait to see the scale move. How long did it take you to recover?

I took six weeks off but felt a lot better at about week 4. The incision pain was what bothered me the most. That and sleepiness.

I don't know why the first post is on here 3 times lol

Not having a lunch break stinks! You are right though, a Protein Drink will work in those situations. When I take a lunch break now I find myself getting bored because I used to spend all that time eating and now after a few bites I'm full.

I started slowly walking on the treadmill at 6 weeks out. My doctor wanted me to take it very slowly and work my way up. A few weeks ago I started lifting a little and doing a circuit. I'm worried about my arms!

I can totally relate - I am a manager and constantly scheduled start to finish in meetings, without time for lunch or Water breaks. I just Ahmad RNY on Monday so I'm nervous about my schedule when I go back, and want to make sure I have enough time and support to eat and drink the way I need to. I had only planned to take 2 weeks off but may work from home for some additional time so I can make sure I start on the right foot.

      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.
