Hey my fellow sleevers, I have a concern I was wondering today I am 4 wks post op and I have only lost 29 lbs post surgery is this normal. By now I was expecting at 35lbs to 40lbs since ive been told the 1st stage is when in lose the most weight... I barely eat and Ive been exercising. I don't really know what am I doing wrong... Did anyone experience something similar?

You are doing great!!! Yes, you lose the most weight in the beginning stages but the beginning stage is about the first 3 months. I started to lose more when I increased my calories. I know it's a scary thing to do but it really does work. You have to keep your metabolism up to burn calories so if you're not eating enough you won't lose as much. Don't sweat it....just keep your eyes on your goal and it will happen!

      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.
