Day 7 I got some of the premiere shakes to give a try to me there not bad there is more Protein than in my eas shakes bit there a little bit thinner liquid ... thinner liquid I guess makes my brain think I got less of something idk I'm drinking down some Water now...gotta tighten up... I cheated yesterday it's my little ones bday weekend we did there cake and all yesterday headed to legoland today I have been pretty strict consuming less than what is on my allowed list however I had a small piece of cake my daughter who turned 8 really wanted me to and we'll....deep inside I wanted to lol ...so hopefully that wasn't a complete upset in the preop but I'm back to the strick grind Protein veggies water...they said I can use oil light dressing stuff like that but I'm choosing not to

progress starts in the mind

I am Day five in my preop liquid only surgery January 24, The worst part about it for me is the headache, i've had a screaming headache since I started, i'm thinking it's due to withdraw from sugar! I am doing the Premier Protein premade drinks it comes in five flavors, I do five a day which brings me to 800 cal and 150 Protein little high in the protein but dietitian said it's OK, at the start of the morning I put the five drinks in my lunch bag and when it's time to have a shake I dig my hand into the bag without looking and I get a surprise flavor of drink!! Got to make some fun out of it!! It keeps me full throughout the day but I still crave food and want to eat!

Hi "julia454", I'm having my procedure on the 25th. I'm on my 4th day of the liquid diet. I'm actually having 3 to 4 Protein shakes per day (2 scoops of whey powder protein w/8 oz almond milk), 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth, and sugar free Jell-o, ice pops and plenty of Water. I like to infused my Water with lemon, ginger, mint. And very important, my surgeon has encouraged physical activities (3-4/week aerobics, strength training) which I have been following.

Full liquid can be challenging but with will power you will all make it. I used the Premire Pre Ready shakes. They are tasty and will give you what you need. Tip be sure to stay away from anything RED. It will stay in your system and during surgery your doc may think you are bleeding

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
