I was 287 lbs when I started my preop diet 5 days ago. I’m now 273 lbs. it’s rough but I’m COMMITTED on not breaking it!

@@nicolea1149 oh boy oh BOY... I'm still recovering from surgery because I had complications and they had to open me up! I'm currently have a wound vac to help with the drainage as my incision began reopening once the staples were our. It's 10cm deep! BUT. I have lost 54 pounds since the day of surgery. So, a success even with the complications!

@@scootersound runny mashed potatoes??? Those are high in carbs though? 🤔 My problem is that I have an array of food intolerances (soy, malt, barely, plant based proteins, all imitation sugars) so it limits me significantly. Thankfully I found a all beef base protein powder that I drink as a broth but its getting old FAST! My surgery was scheduled TODAY but I tested positive for Covid so it's postponed till September 27th. I can't imagine having to do the pre-op fluid diet all over again 😣. Please tell me more about the runny mashed potatoes and how you got around the high carb content. Thank you!!!

@vgarza1972 I'm almost 5 weeks out, and let me tell ya: it's been an emotional roller coaster. lol I'm starting my final post-op eating phase thie Friday, and I feel good. I had to remind myself after the surgery that EVERYTHING is a process. I wasn't what we consider " a food addict," but I'm happy to be enjoying real food again. Not saying I'm not tempted at times but I remind myself that I need to feed my body good things. The healing process is slow but good, I still can't sleep a full night on my stomach but other that, it's good. I started working on meditating and changing my mindset about life in general. 😁😁

Quick question doctor I got my gastric sleeve last year and I have lost Over 200 pounds . I went from 561 to 312 but recently I started to stop loosing weight and have gain weight (31) pounds back because of my bad drinking habits (alcohol with sugar) . So I decided to stop drinking alcohol and got myself on a 1 month liquid diet. Any recommendations for me to keep loosing weight again? Is getting into a liquid diet again with my small stomach would help me loose weight? I’m exercising as well and cut all sugars/carbs since liquid diet. Thank u & GOD bless. Need some answers thanks

Cutting the amount of carbs and increasing lean protein will help you. Also, try intermittent fasting with this.
