15 days post op and still no weight lost. I go to the gym and work out everyday and I follow the menu plan as best as I can. Should I be concern because I'm feeling like a failure already :(

Don't even worry!!! You are swollen and stitched and all that. My weight loss didn't pick up until I started solids about 4 weeks post op. You are doing just fine...take it easy, continue to follow your doctors rules and the weight loss will come in time. You need to heal.

The first 4-6 weeks post surgery are for healing, not losing. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

If you really want to lose even during the healing phase, start counting calories and keeping your food to a cup or less per meal.

Best wishes.

You are working out already? Wow...good for you... My dr wouldn't let me do exercise for a month.

That said... Are you on solid foods yet? If so are you tracking your calories? Even tho this is a time for healing we still need to be aware of what we eat and drink.

Have you gained anything?

I was on liquid foods from the 8-16th. After that i was put on soft foods but what's the difference between soft and regular diets lol? The sample menus I was given pretty much are the same in my opinion. As far as my exercises im just walking for now... they want me to do 30 minutes but I go for a hour. I feel good and people tell me Im losing but the scale say something totally different

      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.
