Drinking sweet stuff all day is really gross.

What I do like is broth alone, and broth with unflavored Protein Powder. I find that far more satisfying. I have the Unjury unflavored powder and the IsoNatural unflavored whey. http://www.vitacost.com/allmax-nutrition-isonatural-whey-protein-isolate-unflavored-2-lbs-1 the IsoNatural foams up a little more than the unjury, but it also blends better. I can buy the IsoNatural locally so I think I will use it ovevr Unjury. Unjury also makes a chicken Soup, but the sodium content is very high. You can get the same effect with broth and unflavored Protein with less sodium. I also have Syntrax Nectar Cappucino and watermelon flavored Protein Drink with BCAAs for muscle retention.

I drink broth and Water in between shakes to keep hunger at bay.

July 21 for me... today is day 2 of my pre-op diet... if anyone has some suggestions for flavor and variety from the the usual stuff on the Doc's handouts I would be grateful

I have my sleeve surgery on July 14th. I'm excited to begin a new chapter in my life. God bless everyone with their surgeries.

Hi Jen--me, too!! It almost feels like it is surreal! I have to do a two day liquid diet before Tuesday, and I am starved! I truly feel sorry for those who have to do this for two weeks. Good luck to you and everyone else here!!

You don't have information from your doctor? I have a book and a paper packet and the nutritionist also told me what to have. If you are in doubt contact the office. If you need advice on types of Protein, plenty of people can help with suggestions.

I'm at the other end-in Barnegat. Did you get any answers from the doctor's office on what you can have on the pre-op diet? I had a one hour class just on the pre-op and first week post op diets. I could share my info with you, but every doctor seems to have their own protocols all the way from all liquids to just a low carb diet, so it would be better to get the info from them.

      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! 😞
