Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App My dietitian recomended Protein Snacks every 3-4 hours, you may get used to small meals and loose some weight in the process Sent from my SM-G550T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maydawn1972 8 Posted December 31, 2016 My Dr required me to do a full liquid diet for 2 weeks. Was so very hard I won't lie to you . I cried every day for the first 3-4 days around supper time. Its really hard and takes a lot of will power. I'm 3 days post op I find it so much easier now with my small pouch ,good luck Sent from my 5056N using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrpinkard 36 Posted December 31, 2016 I started trying different Protein shakes. You want like them all after surgery. I replaced them with Breakfast & my doc required me to have some weight loss monthly Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HealthierMe2017 22 Posted December 31, 2016 I am also hoping to have surgery within the next six months! I meet with my dietitian and the surgeon in a week. I have started drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast and eating a Protein Bar between breakfast and lunch, I didn't eat in the mornings before so I started doing this to wake up my metabolism. Unfortunately (or possibly fortunately) my home scale died so I haven't weighed myself to see if noticed a good change. I feel like I've actually gained, no clothes are fitting me [emoji20] definitely discouraging. I'm curious to hear what they recommend for your diet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatnomore2017 21 Posted December 31, 2016 I have started replacing two meals with Protein shakes or Protein Bars since I first met with my Dr. He said that was great it would make the surgery easier. I have about 2.5 more months until surgery. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Pullen 20 Posted December 31, 2016 When I started June 22, I was put on a 1500-1800 cal diet with max of 120g Protein and 150g carb. Quickly found out I could not eat that many calories. For last several month, I have been able to reduce to 1000 or less calories a day. Eleven days into LD has not been a problem. Just got 4 containers of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. Made a glass with low sodium chicken broth and was wonderful on a cold day in N Fla. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
