I have to lose this weight before surgery and I can't seem to get it off... I have my last apt before they submit to insurance on the 2nd of August and I'm so scared. I have tried everything. I recently even started a job. It's night shift cleaning. And when I come home I'm starving so I'm eating then going to sleep which isn't good at all.. Any suggestions?

I would suggest eating high protein/ low carb things right before bed. Greek yogurt usually was good at tiding me over at night. Or string cheese. These foods help me level out my blood sugars when I stay up late during the weekends.

Yes, prep shakes can usually be made with skim or 1% milk. I started using Fair life which has higher Protein and Calcium and lower fat than regular milk...and it is lactose free. It's so good!

"I'm thinking about going ahead and trying the liquid diet for pre op..... It'd be worth it if I can lose the weight."

I too, did a liquid "diet" preop....CLEAR liquids for 7 days. Never thought I could do basically no calories for a week. But I did, my body had plenty of reserves. I lost almost 20 pounds.....and surgery was a success!

Best wishes!

      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...

        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.
