I am 5 days post-op and am down 17lbs. I went for my follow up today and the doctor was looking at me like I was crazy, like I did something wrong. Did anyone else drop this much weight this fast? Personally, I am happy about it :thumbup:. However, I do know that the weight loss will slow once I introduce more food. Right now I am having all liquids, creamy Soup, and oat meal.

I think it all depends on how much you have to lose. I lost a significant amount of weight in the beginning and then slowed over time. Let him look at you crazy all he wants to...your 17lbs. down! Good for you!

I am day 7 and have lost 16 lbs., too! I wish it would continue to fall off like this, but we all know it won't. Celebrate your big loss, and look forward to the rest! Good luck!

      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.
