March 23 Surgery/ Pre-Opt Diet

[SHONORS1324 8]

Hello,

Just started my liquid diet! How MUCH WEIGHT DID YOU GUYS lose ON IT? I was able to have a bunch of Premier Protein shakes and Jell-O, and some broth. I seasoned the hell out of that broth! I am so hungry.haha

Hang in there!! I lost 12lbs on mine, which was a nice jump start heading into surgery! First couple days are the worst, then your body gets used to it. GOOD LUCK!!!

I didn't lose much pre-surgery, under 5 pounds. I made my own veggie broth, which was much more flavorful. Boiled carrots, onion, bell pepper, zucchini, cabbage, canned tomatoes and 2 couple teaspoons of beef bouillon. Choose any veggies you like, boil until they are mushy, strain off the liquid. Discard the mushy veggies. It made a really good broth. Best wishes!

You lost a lot of weight hopefully, I lose that much with a sleeve, I'm 230 as well.

I'm rounding the corner to my March 16 surgery date and have been on the diet for two weeks (I started a few days early to give myself some rope). *My* scale says I'm down 17 lbs from my highest weight but of course I don't believe it because my doctor's scale is always a +4lb difference - old thinking patterns creeping in. 🥴 I feel a lot better and it is noticeable to others and my clothes fit better.

Just got my surgery! I lost 25 lbs. I wouldn't say I like this gas.

Wow - that is a ton for just two weeks. Hang in there, and I hope the gas pains have already gone away.
