For me the liquid diet was not bad and I lost weight on it! Found a good tasting Protein drink and I am still using it. My surgery went well they say. I have had very little pain and have had no nausea.




What protein drink do you like?

I'm 10 weeks out of surgery. I've lost 34 lbs and I've stopped losing. I'm so frustrated. I try and drink a lot of Water but find it difficult. I try and get 60 grams of Protein in. I eat about 700 to 900 calories a day.
I've started exercising but not consistently.
Anyone else out there not losing?

I'm 61 and was sleeved on 2/23/17. Including liver reduction diet to now, I'm down 40 lbs. Since surgery weight loss has been slower than I wanted but so far, I'm being patient. My doctor has me on only 600 calories...some days I might go over by as much as 100 and other days, I struggle to hit 600. I've never been one to exercise and that didn't change, which I'm sure is part of the problem.

Clothes have been an issue. I went from wearing stuff that was too tight to wearing a size smaller in pants. I purchased 2 new, smaller size tops...same brand and size, without trying them on. When I got home, one was perfect and one was too tight. The point is, you just can't tell. As long as you know you are losing and feel good, that's all that matters.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
