So saw the surgeon today and i will be on a 2 week liquid diet which realllllllllyyyyyyy sucks. They will call me in the next day or two to schedule the surgery. Also paid the money today which was a sad sad thing lol I had to call the bank to let the transaction go thru since it was sooo high. They also provided the liquid diet shakes there at the office... Oh this is gonna be torture lol. I already told everyone in the house that once this two weeks diet starts no one is allowed to order any type of outside food. lol

I can't "Like" your profile with both the laugh and the sad emoji. I wish I could! Wow they even make you drink prescribed shakes, lol. Do you at least get one protein/veggie meal per day, and two shakes?

Remember, the liver knows if you're in a calorie deficit because of shakes or because of a calorie deficit in general.

... just kidding. At least you're not with one of the completely insane American programs with months of Optifast because It wIlL maKe yOU lOsE mOAr WeIghT (ok, show me the science, oh you can't, great).

Just stick it out. Remember a chicken breast with veggies are a better alternative if you feel like giving up on this insanity.

With my lap band surgery, I had the 2 week pre op diet, which consisted of two shakes per day and one meal of 3 - 4 oz lean Protein and 2 cups of non-starchy veggies and I had to lose 7 pounds. I was afraid of not losing that amount of weight in two weeks, so I started 3 weeks before surgery. Yeah... HUGE regret doing that. Don't do that. 😂

Yeah, my program was like 'hey, we need room to operate, please try to lose 5-7 lbs the next month, here's a suggestion but hey, nobody gets to bariatric surgery without having tried a million times, so just try and call us if you need ideas. Don't worry about it, think of it as giving yourself the best starting point.'

Lost 20ish lbs until a week before, then not another lb the last week, surgeons were happy afterwards and said you did your job, we did ours, now it's your turn again, best of luck dude. :)

It's funny how treating people like adults make them behave like adults.

E.g.:

WARNING: DO NOT EAT ... on swimming pools in America.

Edit: OP, best of luck. Remember the point is to lose weight to shrink your liver. It's all you need to do.

Well, there are plenty of those SAME things out there. Mine told me Premier. 5 a day, and surprise....it was pretty do-able, (if that's a word, lol) I can't say I LIKED it, but I wasn't starving! I also went to Sam's and Walmart, and IMHO if it has the same (Or more) Protein, the same or less calories/sugar, why does it matter which one you drink? Just make sure it fills the requirements your doctor says. Equate sold at Walmart is another.

Yea the shakes are what the bariatric office provides but i was free to buy any other shakes i want. I do have a case of fairlife and i am going to get Premier Protein here in the next couple days as i do like those. Nutritionist said to use premier Protein or any other Protein Shake i like as "Creamer" in coffee lol

At least your program doesn't forbid coffee/caffeine. My program says no caffeine, but that's getting ridiculous imo. There's no way I'm cutting out coffee, unless it doesn't sit well after surgery.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
