See a dietitian.

Follow your dietitian's instructions. food journal, watch portions, stick to calorie limits, avoid processed foods.

Exercise.

Work really really hard to change your lifestyle and eating habits.

Find some support. An accountability buddy. A support group. Therapy if needed.

Take it a day at a time. Never give up:)

So I'm going to assume the date of your surgery was a typo and you are talking about being on a preop liquid diet, which for most folks means Protein Shakes. It's hard to provide advice without knowing what you are struggling with. Is it the liquid nature of the diet, are you having difficulty getting all the Protein you need, are you just frustrated and hungry (trust me we have all experienced this on the preop diet)?

It’s the liquid diet I’m having trouble with ! I really don’t what to drink or eat !

      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! 😞
