Sorry, to keep asking questions lol but what type of Protein Drink?

You should start losing...my pre op was almost the same 2 shakes and a lean cuisine for dinner one week then one week 4 shakes a day only no meal ...

How many days have you done your pre op so far?

Maybe change the dressing on your salad and no croutons?

Wow that's a long time on that diet...I would contact my surgeons office for suggestions.

You could try switching to another type of diet.

I was on a diet the same as this for 12 months and seeing a dietician every week. I only lost 15 kgs (30+ pounds). I should have lost a heap more and it was really expensive, about the same as the out of pocket for my VSG.

The reason I didn't lose is because I wasn't sticking to it, because I was bloody starving!! You've been on a really restrictive diet for a long time which is hard (read: impossible) but are you sticking to it? because I couldn't!

All the best,

Deano

It was hard and I mean hard for me to do it for two weeks. I can't imagine 6 months.

It is worth it! Once you get surgery it will be easy to eat the right amounts and not feel hungry. It's an amazing tool.

You should maybe give yourself a mix up for about a week.

Maybe healthy eatting for 7 days then back to shakes and salads.

Maybe do this every other week?

Mate there's hard and then there's setting people up to fail.

I admire your commitment. You will rock your sleeve!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
