Hello new to this site! Glad to find it! So when do we start to see the lbs fall off? Today I'm at my pre surgery weight doing protein shakes some broth and some cottage cheese and water water ! I had the sleeve and hiatal hernia repair as well as a liver biopsy, will follow up with my surgeon in 10 days. I used dr Hamilton Le at osu Edmond hospital. Still have a lot of pain especially epigastric. Still on liq lortab, any advice or how fast to expect the lbs to come off.
