Hey! I had surgery on the 8/23 as well! Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon's right-hand (Nurse Practitioner) suggested the crock pot. That'll totally be my BFF during the Fall and Winter. I just started phase 3 as well. Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery the day before you, and I lost 16 in the first week, and I was at 18 by the next day. When I went to my 1 week post-op, my surgeon said that was great, but it wouldn't come off as quick as that from now on. When I had seen my primary doctor for my 2 week post-op, I believe he said that it was too much in one week. Overall, I've lost about 26-27. I'd say it just depends on your body and how it is adjusting. It will get better.

To be honest, yes! I started becoming more interested than before, about a week post-op. Whenever I see it on, I automatically put it on. It makes me want to bring the elliptical in the house, so I can do something productive while watching it, now that I have the okay for more exercise.

My surgeon instructed his patients to do 30cc's of Milk of Magnesia every 8 hours until you have a bowel movement. He suggests this if there is no bowel movement for 4 days. I'm day 16 post-op, and still having issues, and this works like a charm after only taking it once. I'm going to include Benefiber or something as well, as suggested by my team, to increase the bulk.

Goal weight: 245 Current weight: 266.8 Today's date: 9/2 My previous goal was 260. [emoji16]

Pre-Op: I threw a Premier Protein in the freezer for a bit until it became slushy. It was pretty much the best thing ever during the liver shrinking diet. 6 days Post-Op: I'm fairly nervous about it. I may wait until I get the okay for puree's.

Thank you so much! I'm in! Goal Weight: 260 Current Weight: 279.8 Today's Date: 8/27/17

I have heard and seen that this is a popular choice. My Costco only has Vanilla, Chocolate, and Bananas and Cream. I've tried Vanilla and Chocolate and loved them! How are Banana and the others? I haven't tried them yet. Thank you!

Yes, they are, until the 8/27! [emoji16] My Costco unfortunately didn't have it. They only had Chocolate, Vanilla, and Banana available, and they were going pretty quick due to the $5 off. I'll have to get the Caramel at Walmart in the 4 packs with my $2 off coupons. [emoji23] Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app

I believe Costco only has Caramel online. They're on coupon until 8/27. In store at the closest warehouse 30 minutes away from me, they only had Banana, Chocolate, and Vanilla. Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congratulations! Based off of my dietary guidelines, I'm allowed to have pre-made protein shakes or protein powder during my clear liquid diet, 2 days before surgery. Since you're post-op, that should be okay. Other than the protein shakes, I am unsure. I would ask your surgeon's office just to be sure. I'm prepping for my Liver Shrinking Diet that begins on the 9th (All liquids + 1 light meal of chicken, beef, or fish and veggies). Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for the tips! I'll try those out! I love Jet. Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app

I may try Strawberry along with Caramel. Walmart does have them! I got sample boxes from the dietitian at the surgery center and they both came with $2 off coupons for the 4 packs, so that is a great chance to try more flavors! Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app
