No need to get into a purging eating disorder. Weight loss with surgery is still about eating healthy and exercising.

Has anyone tried Water pills or laxatives before you had to do your monthly weigh in?

Why would someone want to do this ?

The loss/gain is what it is. Cheating the number by a pound or two on monthly weigh-ins won't help you.

NO.

If this is something you are considering doing then I recommend you talk about why you feel the need to do this with a counselor or therapist.

This does not sound like healthy behavior. I agree with the others that if you are resorting to this sort of thing, you should consider talking to a counselor about it or even just your doctor. If there is something about your monthly weigh-ins (with your doctor, I assume?) that is causing you that much anxiety, maybe have an open and honest conversation with them about why you are feeling so much pressure.

Just curious, are you speaking of pre-op weigh in visits or post-op weigh ins?

      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.
