I know people say don't weigh yourself, but I weighed myself as soon as I got home from the hospital. I gained 5 pounds while in the hospital (because they pumped me full of fluids and you absorb a lot into your tissues after surgery). Anyhow, I have been weighing myself daily and my weight has fallen every day. I am down 26 pounds in 3 weeks, so I'm happy!

I think we need to be realistic, and acknowledge that this is still a weight-loss game. We all know how weight can fluctuate, so if you remember that and really fight having expectations of how much you "should" be losing, it doesn't matter if you weigh frequently or not. Just remember that it's going to be easier this time, and if you stick to your eating plan, it's going to WORK this time!

My surgery was 9/27 and I am down 12 pounds from day of surgery. That's almost 6lbs a week, I am happy with that. Don't expect it to stay that way but so happy. Congrats to everyone that has lost weight.

Right when I got home. Weigh yourself immediately so you know what you have gained and have to lose again. I would have hated to not know I lost those pounds.

      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.
