Hey All,

I would like to know what Protein diet you all use? I have found a book "The Protein Power" and I am not sure if this is what I am supposed to be doing or what.. I would like to know if there is a protein diet book you have and love or a protein diet plan you have found that works? I do not meet with my dietician until July (currently in month 5 of 6 doctor diet). For my doctor supervised diet I have been just counting calories, but I would like to switch over to a protein diet since that is what my surgeon wants me to do.

Thanks!

(Sorry if I posted in wrong area I tried to find where it needed to go)

I started my 12 day pre-op Protein shakes 2 days ago,,,,,,,,,I spent quite alot of time researching them all........ I am using Super Advanced 100% Protein Isolate, chocolate flavor,,,,,,,1 scoop has30g of protein and less than 3g of carbs........even the calorie count is good at 120.........The taste is very good,,,,,no powder after taste,,,,,,,,the very best part is it is under $20.00 at Walmart...............The comperable powders were way to expensive......... for my budget :)

I'm sorry I meant like a High Protein Low carb diet not the liquid diet.. my surgeon doesn't require the Liquid Protein diet until 7 days before surgery. Thank goodness for that! I would lose my mind if I had to do it for 2-4 weeks like some I have seen. But I will keep that in mind!

      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! 😞
