I just wanted to say that hitting your calorie goal really helps! I was banded on 02/13/13 and didn't have to do a pre-op diet. I was 289 surgery date and this morning I am down to 276.2. I lost 10 lbs the first week and have been stuck there till this past Friday (March 1st) and all of a sudden, after reading so many people preaching on here that you really need to get all of your calories in, I made some changes and boom! I'm down 3 more lbs in 2 days! It really helps!

I'm a little over 3 weeks post op and I'm down 24lbs and I see the scale by moving this week. The NUT said when I'm eating ill be between 600-1000 calories a day. Right now I'm on 1 Protein Shake divided into 2 meals, 1 snack (usually yogurt or cottage cheese) and 1 soft food meal a day and I haven't been hitting the 600 mark. I think my body is still in starvation mode so I'm going yo try to up my calories more. Thanks!!

I just started introducing solid foods back into my diet. I am supposed to be getting 1200 calories a day(which is very hard to do) and 40g of Protein. At first I wasn't getting enough Protein so I felt like I was starving all of the time! Now that i am getting enough, i feel better and am lasting about 4 hours in between meals. I also am not supposed to have my first meal till 10am so I have my Protein shake at 8am then eat at 10, 2 & 6. This seems to be working well for me.

      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...

        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.
