My date is November 10. I'm so excited. I can't wait to be on the other side of this! I have my pre op appointments tomorrow, and so far haven't been given a pre op diet. He told me not to gain any weight, but that's all. My brain is in weight loss mode, so I'm doing Protein shakes for Breakfast, a 300 calorie lunch and a 300 calorie dinner, at least for now. Even with that, I've only lost 1 1/2 pounds in 4 days.

Does anyone know why I wasn't given a pre surgery diet?

I just got my Bariatric pal powdered Soup variety pack that I ordered online. Not yet brave enough to try. I got peppermint B 12 and so much better than the cherry flavor! I got orange chewable Multivitamin from Bariatric Advantage and it is really nasty. Starting to lose hope of a Multivitamin I can stand:(

Have you tried the Bariatric fusion Multivitamin Soft chews? They are delicious and sugar free. I have tried about every Vitamin there is and these are the best tasting. I'll post a pic of what I am using
. I read some reviews about Bariatric fusion that were pretty negative, stating that does not have complete Vitamin amounts etc. I have been wanting to ask my doctors opinion .

I compared them to Bariatric Advantage, they are the same amounts of nutrients. The soft chews you will need 3 chews twice daily. Bariatric Advantage, you use 2 tablets per day.

I would rather have good tasting Vitamins twice a day , versus chalky bad after taste like the BA chewables. I will be more compliant if the taste is good.

I will definitely ask my doctor about Bariatric fusion. I agree that something has to taste good for compliance. I will probably order some and check it out. Thanks for the tip!

my surgeon also does surgeries for Kaiser in Denver. I wonder if that means there's a chance I won't have a liquid diet too? What's it like? Just super low carb and sugar free?

My pre op diet is soft foods- cottage cheese, creamy Soup, shakes, yogurt, etc. Basically all the soft foods you can have in those first 2 weeks after surgery.

Congrats on your date!

      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?

      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
