i saw loss after about three days, The best advice Ive gotten is to only weigh twice a week. I was obsessed watching tiny changes that are normal for everyone day by day.

It wasnt about the pounds so much for me.... dont get me wrong I am a slave to the scale... but when others started to notice... So for me around 60 lbs is when I started getting .. are you losing weight... lol.. I was that fat that it took 60 lbs for others to notice. I took picture of myself once a month and the pics where I thought I was looking so good.. now I look at and laugh and wonder what I was thinking.

I waited until my first follow up appointment, which was a little over 3 weeks & I lost 40lbs. I had a very hard time post optimum keeping food down, after some trial & error it was the Vitamins that were making me sick. Don't worry about the numbers as long as they go down your on the right track. :)

Im with the last poster. The most weight I ever dropped in a single week was 4 lbs. I have never seen the scale just shock my socks off. Slow and steady. It was at 7 months out that people whom I had never told began to think I was someone different.

My major weight loss was the first 2 weeks post op. had my surgery on a Monday. Left Wednesday and came home weighed myself. Exactly the weight I went in with. The following Tuesday I went to the doctor to get staples out and I had lost 23 pounds. I lost another 20 that following week. Spent a little over a month on a stall afterwards now I'm losing about 10-20 pounds a month since.

      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.
