Things allowed on 2 week pre-op diet
well i lost over 200 pds in the 2.5 years since surgery. i have had ups and downs. it is a struggle every day. the first year seems so easy easy to lose and it is but then after that you are on even ground again with everyone fighting for every pound. i really recommend to folk to take advantage of that first year. i am up 20 pds to be honest in the last year and have started low carb again to get it off. i never ever want to be thin, i was down to 222 and was so uncomfortable (this may seem unbelievable to some) but i would like to be at 230 as it is a weight i was most comfy with. i guess i got too comfy there and the scale eeked up.
and this is with ealking at the track 4-5 times a week...4.0+KM at a time
just proves that my addiction to food will never end and that VSG is not a miracle but a great tool.
seriously what would a squeeze of lemon juice do to you when you've gone from eating 2000+ cal a day to 800? Even consuming 40+ net carbs a day will keep you in ketosis. Just wondering, not telling anyone to go against advice! I did cave and eat a lot of meatloaf one night during my pre op shake diet. I didnt drink my shake that night though. Still lost 30 lbs in two weeks. And I put instant coffee in every shake I drank, it was a lifesaver let me tell you!
