call your surgeons office and ask for a pre op diet plan.

Thank you for your input! I have been trying really hard since Sunday! So 5 days and I've stayed focused and lost about 7 pounds. At this point I've been drinking a Protein Drink for Breakfast (powder with skim milk) then at lunch I generally have a small salad or today I had carrots/broccoli with 1 oz of ranch dressing. Then I had a flatout (the healthy one) with a sargento thin slice of cheese and lean deli meat one slice. For dinner I will have a lean cuisine just for convenience!

It seems to be working for now, If I start stalling which I am sure I will at some point I will choose a healthier dinner choice! I've done good not snacking because any time I feel mental hunger I just shut it up with a bunch of water! Haha!

My surgeon's group has a lot of free info on their website for bariatric patients including sample diets, education, etc. I was annoyed at first having to go to classes before I was allowed to schedule my surgery but it actually has been really great preparation for the next steps.

My breakfast is a Special K Egg White omelet sandwich with a piece of Morningstar Farms sausage added to it. It keeps me full without feeling like I'm missing out. My two cents...

My program is 70-100 grams of Protein and 64oz of Water or things like Crystal light and less than 50 grams of net carbs. The thing I am struggling with is cutting out diet soda. I'm also struggling with snacking

      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! 😞
