Are you drinking Protein Shakes? My surgery is scheduled for the 21st too, and this is my 9th day on the shakes (called Bariatric Advantage.) I've been having 3 a day (160 calories each) and staving off hunger by mixing in skim milk in the morning instead of Water, then having organic, lo-calorie Soups (creamed) in the evening. By my calculations I haven't gone over 900 calories per day. I've lost 9 pounds - probably mostly water though. I got the shakes through my Surgeon's office - 27 grams of Protein per serving, so that helps with hunger too. Good luck with your surgery. I'm starting to get pretty nervous =(

i havent really heard of gaining from them unless you are doing like the higher calories shakes ? I lost 6 lbs for my pre op diet (which was only 3 days long... meh)

I'm sure you haven't gained if you've cut your caloric intake and have been exercising. It's probably just Water. Don't get your spirits down.

To clarify.. I am on the EAS carbadvantage shakes. I orginially lost 26 pounds, but gained 3 back. It is almost time for my cycle so I am thinking that might be part of the problem. I do have CHF and could be holding fluid... I just got a little upset when I weighed. It is discouraging to see a gain of any amount. Thanks for the support...

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
