Hey there. I’m Wed too and I’m nervous too. I had an irregular ekg and had to have a stress test and the cardiologist cleared me. Went for pre op testing and they did another ekg and it was abnormal too so it’s freaking me out. I was cleared and I know the drs know more than me. My husband tells me it’s nerves and anxiety that is keeping me worried. And I have zero doubts that is true. I’ll be a ball or nerves until after surgery.

What state are you in? I’m Texas

My doctor only does three shakes a day, not four. Maybe that could be it. Also I see you have four shakes and milk too! Gosh.

Criteria I was told was 1. Less than 200 calories per serving, 2. At least 25 grams of protein, and 3. Maximum of 5 grams of sugar and fat. Yours seems to fit criteria

The fairlife nutrition plan shakes are 150 calories and 30 G protein. Maybe try those !!

Maggie, I wasn't told that I needed to lose weight, I thought with just the liquid thingy that I would, plus everyone was saying they were losing while on the liquid that's all and it had me worried.

Maybe mines is too much, I'll cut out 1 shake and cut out the milk period all that stuff make me feel bloated anyway

Girl then don’t worry and remember the scale doesn’t always tell the full story! Take this time to be kind to your body and get ready for surgery … we are also holding in so much liquid so I’m sure we are loosing but have a lot of water weight

Awwww thank you so much because it really had me worried but ik I have cut out everything. So now my focus will be preparing for my surgery on the 13th

Exactly Carla this is an extremely difficult diet to follow as long as your following your drs requirements don’t worry about it everyone’s body is different everyone’s body carries weight different, idk how your working out I feel fatigued just living right now haha

Hi Maggie - its so very nice to have you join us here. Of course you are feeling a sense of loss; we have had a long standing relationship with food and food was reliable and available if we wanted it, despite it ultimately making us so very miserable. You are grieving the loss of a deep and complicated relationship. Let it go - its a bad relationship and your surgery will support a much healthier union between you and food.

I had my surgery on 1st June, having completed a two week liquid diet. Its hard - there is no getting away from it. You are going to have to dig really deep honey; its only 2 weeks and you will soon be there. You can do it - believe you got this.

Dear Carla - try not to spend too much time worrying about the weight you are not losing at this stage. Maybe follow the advice your medical team has given you without your own modifications and see what happens honey. Relax beautiful girl - don't stress at this early stage xx

For all of you who have surgery tomorrow, I am so with you in spirit and prayers. Can't wait to see you on the other side - ?
