Recommended Posts

Hi vwlover,

I am also in the UK I start my liquid diet this Sunday talking with my surgeon 2 weeks on this diet is the norm but 3 weeks even better I am going on 4 slim fast shakes a day with skimmed milk I have chosen different flavours to give variety I need to top fluids up to 1 to 2 ltrs total per day I do not know if this would help you at all I hope it does.

Vwlover - I watched a UK based show on weight loss. The milk diet is not the same as the U.S. liquid diet. The milk diet is just that - milk. I believe 4 quarts (or pints, I forget) per day. The U.S. liquid diet varies per doctor - length varies as well as liquids. It usually requires a number of Protein Shakes per day, along with other fluids. Some might include a light, Protein dense meal in the evenings, with a duration of 1 day up to 4 weeks. All depends on the surgeon.

      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! 😞
