galady1106 2 Posted July 12, 2014 Okay guys, I'm staring to panic. Before surgery my greatest fear was that it wouldn't work. I am 4 days post op and still weigh the same as when I went in for the surgery. In fact I came out of hospital pound or two up. Not looking for drastic loss, but some kind of downward trend would be welcome. Even a few ounces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galady1106 2 Posted July 12, 2014 Thanks AnnieRichards. My experience had been so easy compared to others that I don't really feel like anything has been done except the liquid diet is no longer debilitating like it was pre op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bridget1103 12 Posted July 12, 2014 So far so good-I'm still only on Protein shakes, Water, and broth. Yesterday I got 45 gms of Protein in and about 50 ounces of Water. I am not moving on to any more liquids until I get my protein at 60 and liquids at 64. How is everyone else doing with the protein? I'm 3 days post-op.

AnnieRichards 1 Posted July 12, 2014 July 24th here! I had my last meal out at a restaurant tonight before I start my pre-op diet, so weird to know I won't eat this much ever again. That's my date too! Mine's the 22nd. I did the same thing I had a food funerals for my favorites. Like bacon. Fried chicken etc. I have finished 1st week of pre-op diet. Only thing I can say is you really miss chewing which is good I guess because after surgery I will have to chew everything a lot!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Dr told me they pump us full of liquids and I could be 10 pounds heavier. It will come. I know it's been a little over a week for me, and the swelling still is t gone all the way. You will be fine, just stick to the program. 1 DropDeadFred reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been experimenting with different shakes. Need to get more water. Loving the broth and Popsicles for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
