I also had surgery August 26th. Lot's of pain, but no complications so I can't complain.

"Eating" and fluids are going great. Although I do of course have to force myself to eat and time things out so I get it all in throughout the day. Yesterday I just gave up by evening because I got sick of eating. Imagine that lol.

Pushing myself to walk a little more each day. I try to walk a couple times at least. Grocery shopping, walking around my apartments.

As for weight loss:

Start of Weight Loss: 406

Day of Surgery: 376

Two Days after Surgery: 395

Two Days after being home: 381

This morning: 370

It's incredible to see how far I can come just a week after surgery. Can't wait to see what comes next!

How soon were you all able to start wearing a bra again? I tried the past couple days, at 4 days post op, and I thinj it has been causing me some unnecessary pain.

Hi! I have been having a really uncomfortable pain in my right side (no incisions). The pain goes vertically and feels like a pulled muscle, but after having a bmovement I feel a little better. Hard to believe it is Constipation.

Hi. My surgery was Aug 19. It went well. My only problem so far is getting enough Protein. After drinking it for 3 wks I've started gagging on it & can't force it down. The only way I can do it is freeze it like a fudgecicle. I've been pretty good about taking Multivitamins, liquid Calcium and getting enough Clear liquids.

Pre liquid diet weight 387lbs

Surgery weight 375lbs

Current weight 355lbs

I have a follow-up meeting with my doc & nutritionist on Wed where I hope to get permission to drive & start soft foods.

I did nibble on some cheese last night & it went well in my pouch. I can't wait for cottage cheese lol

Have you tried the clear Isopure drink? The Apple Melon and Alpine Punch are good. Each bottle is 40g of Protein. I drink half a bottle earlier in the day then the other half in the evening. They also sell the powder to mix with Water. At GNC they are about $5 a bottle.

I couldn't stomach the Isopure drinks. I bought one of each & couldn't keep down one. I'm also having a hard time drinking/eating crushed pill mixtures. My stomach hurts so bad on the upper left side I'm terrified of throwing up.

      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.
