Once a week, naked. Generally Wednesdays, the day of my surgery. I think the daily was discouraging. I also weighted myself day of surgery at home, naked... when they weighed me at the hospital, I was 2 lbs more, but wearing jeans, a tee, sandals, etc.

Rather than buying he premade, it's easy to make your own. Just old fashion oats in a dish/jar overnight. You can use protein powder to flavor it. to skip the sugar.

I did not have to do Keto. you just need to get good protein, which is not a problem since you can get plant based protein powders.

I have had the same issue, I notice that days I don't hit my water intake is worse than days I do.

I would bet you weren't wearing the right size before hand. My friend swore she was a DD till I took her to get fitted and she was a G...lol I went through that too at a younger age.

I am due in the next few days. This has been the worst for cravings, I am dreading the cramps... All I can say is thank god for Sugar free pudding, because it the one time of the month that I want something sweet.

I drank coffee a week after surgery or so... It didn't upset my stomach at all. I used to drink it black, but decided to start doing a half protein shake in my coffee now.

My Doctor said to increase calories a bit and it would end, I did that, and lost 3 lbs in 2 days.

I am a week into my PreOP Diet and doing really well, 8 lbs. down so far... But I can't kick my coffee! 😫 I drink it black for the most part, sometimes I will put about a Tablespoon of my Protein shake in it, so no excess sugar. I don't have a sensitive stomach at all, so that is not an issue. has anyone else not give up the coffee?

My doctor said women must eat 60-60 grams after surgery, and men 80-100. so no... I don't think she has a problem. That is what you need. You can use plant protein, protein doesn't = meat. I am not full vegan, but try to eat as little animal product as possible. I use IsoPure flavorless protein in my soups and drinks to help hit my number. But I also use this Vegan Protein from 1st Phorm... when I tell you the french toast flavored one in coffee is AMAZING, it really is. They have a lot of flavors and other vegan options. https://1stphorm.com/collections/protein/products/vegan-power-pro

I take a great collagen from 1st Phorm, I also use their proteins. They have great flavors that I rotate between to avoid getting tired/sick of them. Highly recommend people trying them.

I didn't like them, the taste isn't great and the texture is weird. I would skip it. There are a lot of recipes to make "egg Crepes" and wrap on keto sites. Way better.

I had a zoom Meeting with my doctor today, I asked him about stalling already and he assured me that it happens to most people. Our systems are adjusting to the diet and trying to hold on to fuel. He actually recommended to eat a few more calories a day to kick start the weightless again. He said that a lot of times throughout the next few year, we may have to do that, especially as we all become more active.

Your body is adjusting and you are still having swelling going down. You will see the change on the scale soon.

It really is demoralizing! We just went through all of this and to already be stagnant... 😭 Trying to stay positive.

I haven't lost 1 pound the last week, and I am really mad/frustrated/irritated.

Shingles is not a common thing. And don't occur often. But it can also be EXTREMELY painful. Generally you only get shingles once, I did when I was younger, so how did you now that your mild bumps were it?

There are a few... Turmeric, Glucosamine, Chondroitin are the best

I just had my surgery on 8/17... First week I lost 10 lbs. after losing 22 in the month pre-op. But now I am stuck, I feel like it might be due to My period coming this week... But it is annoying and frustrating.

I would stick to Capsules, I am going to switch over to them. The chewable are so gross, I throw up every morning from them.

I have been taking capsules since I came home. Were you instructed to open them?

Good Luck!!!!

I am a week post op... I am back to coffee...lol. I haven't had issue with my stomach or anything, thank god!

I got a stronger Stick Frother. Its great for quickly blending in the protein powders, especially the IsoPure into soup and stuff. It was $5.... That is all I have needed,

I got a PPI, Blood Thinner & Pain Meds. I didn't bother filling the pain meds though.
