My Dr required me to do a full liquid diet for 2 weeks. Was so very hard I won't lie to you . I cried every day for the first 3-4 days around supper time. Its really hard and takes a lot of will power. I'm 3 days post op I find it so much easier now with my small pouch ,good luck

I am also hoping to have surgery within the next six months! I meet with my dietitian and the surgeon in a week. I have started drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast and eating a Protein Bar between breakfast and lunch, I didn't eat in the mornings before so I started doing this to wake up my metabolism. Unfortunately (or possibly fortunately) my home scale died so I haven't weighed myself to see if noticed a good change. I feel like I've actually gained, no clothes are fitting me [emoji20] definitely discouraging. I'm curious to hear what they recommend for your diet!

I have started replacing two meals with Protein shakes or Protein Bars since I first met with my Dr. He said that was great it would make the surgery easier. I have about 2.5 more months until surgery.

When I started June 22, I was put on a 1500-1800 cal diet with max of 120g Protein and 150g carb. Quickly found out I could not eat that many calories. For last several month, I have been able to reduce to 1000 or less calories a day. Eleven days into LD has not been a problem.

Just got 4 containers of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. Made a glass with low sodium chicken broth and was wonderful on a cold day in N Fla.

      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! 😞
