Are you on a liquid diet? You should not be drinking juice as it has too much sugar. Stay on the Protein drinks. The first 3 -4 days are horrible, but after the sugar is out of your system for that long, it is much easier.

@@mgiii, call your surgeon's office when it opens in the morning. Speak with the dietitian to get exact instruction on what to eat and drink until your surgery date. Tell the dietitian what you have been eating and drinking (including the kinds of juice you are drinking). Be sure to tell the dietitian about your health concerns, meaning about not being able to eat Jello or popsicles. Also be sure to tell the dietitian about your trachea or tracheotomy (I am not sure exactly what you meant). Before the conversation ends, please be sure that you understand everything. Ask questions about any of the instructions that are not clear to you.

      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! 😞
