First Post Op Opinion - New Doctor and down 25 pounds



Recommended Posts

So I was operated on 11/26 and my doctor quit on 12/3. I just met the new doctor and he is very nice. I have been lucky not really that hungry and not problems swallowing at all. I have lost 25 pounds ( including pre-op).I am sure it will slow down but I will take it for now. It is amazing the difference between doctors. I am on mushies and the new doctor said I can do chicken if I cut it up and chew alot. I am still drinking 1-2 shakes a day to try and get the Protein plus I dont mind them. This doctor told me to try and be between 1000 -12000. I have been averaging 750. I guess we will see :P

Wow! You're doing great, I was banded on November 20, only lost 15lbs. I go for my first fill this coming Friday, so hopefully that will help with the often hunger attacks. Keep it up!

      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.
