anyone go back to liquid for a few days?



Recommended Posts

I am almost 3 months post op. I am down 20 pounds but my weight has been at a standstill for a couple of weeks. Was just wondering has anyone gone back to the Protein Shakes for a few days to kickstart their weight loss again? Thanks.

After I get a fill I usually lose a few pounds because I'm on liquids. A lot of people do liquids to restart

All the time....about every 4-6 weeks....it helps me maintain me staying in the Green Zone.

It's about the only maintenance I can think of after 4-1/2 years to keep my band properly fit.

In the beginning, first few months, I was more concerned about getting the band properly adjusted to where it functions the way it is designed to do...then the weight started to come off...

Going liquids helps me maintain that "sweet spot"

But then, that is how it worked for me....I HATE diets! (and cannot do them succesfully in the first place...hence, surgery!)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
