Wow! Good for you on the 53 pounds - that's amazing!

I have read and experienced that it is common for weight loss to stall between week 2 and 3 post op. The scale will start moving again. That being said, please don't sell yourself short on that 53 pounds! That is INCREDIBLE!

Take a step back and realize you've lost 53lbs. That is A LOT of weight for your body to lose. Congratulate yourself on your loss so far. Until 6 weeks after surgery you are healing. Weightloss cannot and should not be a main goal during this time. You won't lose as quickly as you did with the liquid diet, please keep that in mind.

Also remember that getting a fill does not mean weightloss. The scale will drop when your body is ready. Give it time to heal; you did just have a pretty invasive surgery.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
