What does everyone think of Fairlife milk? I tried it, and it's ok. I've read on here where a lot of people are using it in their Protein Shakes (because it has more Protein than regular milk) But I have read (online) that ALOT of nutritionists don't think it's all that healthy afterall. I'm planning on asking my nut on my next appt, but I figured I'd ask for opinions.

I like drinking fairlife by itself, and since my surgery I've had issues with lactose, so I like that it has no lactose.

I was just concerned about the tjings I read saying that by taking out the fat and lactose etc, it increases the cancer causing elements. But, I guess everything says that today.

My NUT recommends Fairlife because of its higher Protein content and since its lactose free

That's a very good idea so that you are well prepared once you arrive home post op. I have been drinking clear Chinese Soup, SF Jello, SF popsicles and SF Italian icee as well as crystal light and Crush flavor packs.

I have a question about hydration...I am not being sleeved until June, but I was wondering...HOW am I going to get 64ozs of fluids in AFTER surgery when I hardly drink anywhere near that now??? I drink maybe 24 ozs a day. I am working on it though.





You should begin to train your body now. If you are drinking 24oz now, than increase it to 32oz. And once you are comfortable with 32oz, increase it to 40oz and so forth. Water consumption is so important and you.should make it your priority. You have 4 months to prepare. I had 2 weeks...
Good luck!

Why will i need twice as much Water AFTER surgery than I need now?






Because before surgery your body gets Water from the food you eat as well as what you drink. After you aren't getting the water from food, only liquids so you have to up your quantities by a lot to cover the difference.

I'm 11 days post op, and Water, crystal light is just now starting to taste good, I finally got over 64 oz yesterday, and felt amazing last night and this am. Hoping to keep it up past 64 oz. I bought some Fairlife milk last week, because it was on sale, I really like it, the addtional Protein is a plus :)

Do things really taste different after surgery? Do you think I shouldn't worry too much about buying things NOW to get used to them for AFTER surgery?(Protein shakes, greek yogurt etc) Focus more on getting used to drinking more?

I really just had no taste at all. I usually like ice cold plain Water, but now I need a little crystal light for some flavor. I think I'm just healing. I would just concentrate on drinking more.

      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?

      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
