I was banded 6 days ago, but I've lost 40 lbs since Aug 1st doing low carb/pre-op diet. That's a lot in only 2 months!!! What is too fast? Will this slow down soon?

Not sure how much IS too much, I do know the bigger you are the faster you lose in the beginning, so yes, it will slow down.

This really makes me go back and follow a low-carb lifestyle again.

If you're losing weight in a healthy manner- enough calories, enough Protein, not junk calories- then don't worry about the speed at which you lose. Your body will regulate itself soon enough and you'll miss the days the weight just melted off,

For the record, I lost 44 pounds in the first 6 weeks after surgery and continued to lose at least 20 pounds a month for the first 6 months. Now, I am lucky if I lose 5-8 pounds a month. The lower the scale goes the slower the weight come off because your body is much more resistant to let it go.

You're fine :)

The 100 carbs or lower per day diet melted it right off. Definitely try it again! It helped me get into control of my eating--I felt like a drug addict with sugar and carbs. I've been sugar free since Aug 1st and feel better than ever.

Mis, yes I am being healthy--just worried about getting my Protein and liquids in. I guess I will feel better once I move thru the stages.

It will get A LOT easier once you're past the post op diet, I promise. I know when I was on the liquids and mushy phases I was lucky to get in maybe 30-40g of Protein per day. It was just really hard!

You're doing really great!

      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.
