I am 1 week into my two week preop diet and I just realized that the slim fast that I was drinking was the wrong one. I was drinking the optima. Is this going to effect my surgery? Help.

I was told to drink the slim fast optima. Supposedly it has less sugar. Definitely check with your doctor!

Good luck:thumbup:

I don't know about the SlimFast but I am curious how much weight you have lost. I am stressing out because I have only lost 2.5 lbs in 9 days and surgery is on Wednesday. I was told I needed to lose five by then or it would be canceled. :redface:

I haven't lost much either. Maybe three pounds. That is why I started looking at the slimfast. I was hungry all the time so I so I started reading back over my literature and found out I was not drinking the right thing. I wish you luck. There was no set weight loss for us to lose before the surgery. We just had to shrink the liver by the two week fast. Have you stuck with it?

      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! 😞
