I still don't have a surgery date. Doing all the prepwork though: finished blood tests and EKG, psych visit #1, dietician visit #1. The dietician isn't asking for much - just two weeks' of food logs showing more Protein than carbs each day (plus at least 100g Protein per day, but I already do that), to show that I can manage to do similarly post-op. Once I show that, they will schedule surgery. :)

My surgeon's "liver diet" limits carbs to 20g/day (yikes!) but otherwise I get to eat. Two weeks of that is coming up soon!

So all's well for me, except that I was disappointed by my dietician's opinion on a goal weight range for me: 164-178#! She says that will incorporate my existing 125# of lean mass, plus 30% body fat (I'm currently 41.3% fat). She doesn't like using BMI. Her suggested weight seems too high for me. We will see... I want more like 150#, 20% fat, as my goal!

I had to move mine to the 20th because he's not in the hospital my hematologist is out of on the 13 Having had pulmonary embolisms, I didn't want to risk not having my doctor available.

How are you guys (who are getting very close) doing on the liver diet? Are you drinking a lot of Protein shakes, or real food? I am newly appreciating no-carb foods like mackerel, herring, tuna that are so portable for lunch at work and camping.

I've been taste-testing various shakes and am gagging at all the chemicals and sucralose! Any suggestions? Maybe after surgery I'll start a line of shakes with savory flavors: nacho cheese, potato/broccoli, curry, miso, blue cheese, buttered popcorn, tomato/spinach, ranch, carrot... Not really kidding!

My favorite ready to drink shake (so far) is Premier Protein in chocolate. It's also delicious if mixed with a bit of cold brew coffee concentrate.

I'm making my way through some Syntrax nectar samples, and so far I've discovered that mixing vanilla with fuzzy navel in milk with a few ice cubes blended in is pretty amazing. (Conversely, Unjury's strawberry Sorbet is disgusting)

I also don't mind the Isopure Zero Carb drink in Grape or Alpine Punch

Thank you! I like the Premier Protein Cholocalate and vanilla both (haven't tried strawberry - I've heard that's gritty). Ordered the Necter Variety Sampler today too, and picked up some other brands' individual packets at Whole Foods to try. But I think a coupla weeks straight of chocolate and vanilla shakes will drive me bonkers!

The World According to Eggface also has TONS of Protein shake recipes that sound super yummy and way better than just Protein powder mixed with Water.

      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?
